Cowra……………………………..day 185

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”.
