Day 39 -Saturday 25th February

We left Dubbo this morning, driving through Gilgandra and Coonabarabran before arriving in Gunnedah.
Gilgandra didn't have a central water supply till 1966, so there were over 300 windmills around the area. These windmills below were at the local museum near where we stopped for morning tea. There is even a "windmill walk" where you can see an avenue of windmills.





The countryside became more mountainous as we drove towards Coonabarabran and then to Gunnedah. These photos were taken as we were driving and the landscape changed.













Gunnedah is home to one of the largest and healthiest koala colonies. So far we haven't seen any here.
By the time we arrived here today, Peter had a sleep, I did the washing and some shopping then we went to church, we didn't get to see much of the town. Since we left Adelaide we have only stayed one night in each town, so doesn't give us much time to look around. We will arrive at Gae and Graham's (my sister and brother in law) 30 kms out of Uralla (between Tamworth and Armidale) tomorrow and stay there till later in the week, before getting home by Saturday.
