Monday 20 December 2010. Today we drove out to the Australian Radio Telescope outside of Narrabri, we could see how badly the district was affected by the rain as the road had water over it in a number of spots and the road was full of potholes.
There is a bank of five telescopes on lines and they were spread out so we only actually saw one up close. There was an interesting video on Radio Telescopes and Nassa which we enjoyed. We left there and headed for the town lake, it is a picnic and camping area but was very wet so we did not stay there long before we drove back into town.
Tuesday 21st December - we walked down into town again and mooched around the shops.
Sawn Rocks Mt Kaputar National Par
Vertical Octagonal Vertical Rocks in creek bed
Broken pillars in the creek bed
Wednesday 22nd December - Today we left Narrabri after a pleasant stay at the caravan and went shopping before driving out to Sawn Rocks. The hillside consisted of a formation of Octagonal Vertical pillars caused by volcanic eruptions referred to the pipe organ and is quite spectacular. Over the centuries some of these pillars have broken off and lay in the stream bed below.
From there we drove to Moree.
