60 - Narrabri - Running Bare

Before we start this story, the comment from "The Traveling Swingers" has now been removed, due mainly to the misinterpreation of their " blog name." To set the record straight "The Traveling Swingers" are rock and roll dancers, definately not the other lifestyle choice.

Hope that clears that up.

Enjoy the story.

Our next camp near Narrabri has been on our radar for a million years, however the property being inland NSW, we just never seemed to be in the right area geographically to have a visit. It was only because the gig in Dubbo came up, followed by Goondiwindi, that put us in a direct line up the Newell Highway, of which goes through Narrabri.

Like a lot of these camp sites we visit in our travels, most tend to be a little out of town, with access a little hard on the Val and the RetroLiner. But in all cases the solitude and the atmosphere is just amazing. Running Bare was no different.

On arrival we were met by one the properties owners, Glenys, who promptly directed us to our site for the next three days. In brief we were suppose to be here for a week, however mis-calculated the days between gigs, as February had only 28 days not 31. So our week was reduced to three nights. One hundred points for being the worlds biggest "Wally"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Like all the out of the way properties we regularly visit, there are always quite a few other visitors, and again this one is no different. As always we met a million new friends and travelers, had a many drinkies at happy hour and made some great friends. A special hi there to Ray & Lesley from WA.

On our arrival day the weather was hot. The sky clear. That night being (Saturday) we went to the movies. A big large screen in the open. Good fun, although the night critters were a bit hungry.

Of course what do you do, whan at camp, and the days is hot.....you go for a swim don't ya!

Our next day the weather was quite overcast and cloudy, however still very warm. We just layed around...as you do, and did nothing...... Took a few more pikkies, had a fun gam of Trivial Persuit that night. All good fun.

At the time of writing this blog, it is Monday 1st march 2010, and the weather is quite cool. We actually stayed in bed till about 9ish, before being russtled up by Ray & Lesley who were wandering off on the long journey back to Perth. Had a cuppa with a few others, kisses and cuddles all round, and it was goodbye to Ray & Lesley. Hopefully we will meet again, when we get to the west.

Being a miserable day not to much sunning and swimming was going to happen, so we ventured into Narrabri, to see what Narrabri had offer. Not much may I add, however we caught up with some moteliers, had lunch at the RSL and then headed back to our camp at Running Bare.

Tomorrow 2nd March, we head off to Goondiwindi to start another gig, so for the next month, so there probably won't be much to report.....but you never say never.

Stay tooooooooned!!!!
