153km to Dubbo seems like a day cruise now. Didn't even need a coffee from our well packed coffee machine that is travelling very well from Alice Springs. Kurtis is pleased he no longer has it at his feet. We decided to stop by at Parkes to see "The Dish". We thought it would be more impressive, but this is why they have the best cafe we have been to. We would travel 40km from Forbes any day of the week to have a cuppa and scone there.
Finally have reached Dubbo and we headed to the zoo as quickly as possible. We were warned that it was a hot day (32 degrees!) and we didn't have the heart to tell them we were missing the 38 degree day Alice was experiencing. We decided to do an hour walking tour before we tackle a longer Dubbo Zoo day the next day.
People looked at me strangely when I stood at the fence with the boys and booed the camel exhibit. See these all the time and they are a Central Australian pest. Better to eat than keep alive I think. Ok, I did enjoy riding one and they did help open up Central Australia to the explorers, but they do need to be managed.
The father always looks out for his kids.
The boys just wanted to hear them sing "I like to move it, move it"
