After a couple of pleasant days we headed east again. Our plan for this trip is to explore some of NSW but also to have a relaxing trip stopping in places for awhile. Both Jenny and myself have not stopped working during the Covid and have in fact worked longer hours.

Leaving the campsite in the morning we reached Cobar at lunchtime and after strolling the main street had lunch in a pleasant park. On the road again and we stopped at Nyngan. This place is on the Bogan river and it is also home to the Big Bogan, a statue depicting a bogan.

For those who are reading this and are not from Australia I have put the Wikipedia explanation below. For those in the Netherlands the Flodder family would be the closest to our bogan.

Bogan (/ˈboʊɡən/BOHG-ən^[1]) is Australian and New Zealand slang for a person whose speech, clothing, attitude and behaviour are considered unrefined or unsophisticated. Depending on the context, the term can be pejorative or self-deprecating.^[2] The prevalence of the term bogan has also been associated with changing social attitudes towards social class in Australia.

We consulted our wikicamp app and a place along the Bogan river near to a weir took our fancy. We were not disappointed as we found a place next to the river. Quiet with only a couple of other campers around and plenty of firewood for a campfire. The weather has improved and the forecast is that it will be getting warmer with no rain in sight.

After a couple of days relaxing, on the  banks of the river on Sunday morning (11th October) we packed up and headed east again.
