25 Sept 2014
45 days until I see the sun setting over the ocean.
Another day of driving south’ish from Bathurst to Cowra. We drove 104 kms and passed through 4 tiny villages, something we wouldn’t see back in the west.
Arriving at lunch time, we all did a brief drive around town getting used to the layout of the place and having a look at the scenic lookout.
We are again staying at the showgrounds of Cowra where the caretaker has a number of cattle in the cattle pens.
Travelling through the outback of NSW and Queenland and travelling back down south we have come across a large variety of cattle breeds.
Breeds we have seen or heard of while travelling around have been the following:
- Texas Longhorns – at Longreach
- Shorthorns
- Herefords
- Simmentals
- Santa Gertrudis
- Murray Grays
- Angus
- Dexter
- Red angus
- Belted Galloways
- Charolais
- Brahams.
We have some Belted Galloways here in the showgrounds.
Another weird road name we saw today “Hen & Chicken Lane”.
