If you are staying at the Barwon Inn, set your GPS to the corner of Kamilaroi Highway and Gingie Road. The driveway to the Barwon Inn is about 20 metres up the road towards Walgett.

Good food — the best steak I had on the trip

The Barwon Inn used to be called Nolan’s on the Barwon.
The Gwydir Highway is remarkably good and is mostly posted at 110 km/h.
The road must flood regularly as the are many signs indicating flood damage.
Lots of flood markers are along the road. It would not be passable in the wet.
I have scheduled this post to be published at 1pm on 18 December 2012.
Just a reminder that I will be out of mobile phone contact for the next few days travelling to Bourke and then down the Kidman Highway.
I have a satellite phone with me should I run into any trouble. My wife has the phone number, but it is horrendously expensive to phone and text.
I will text my wife morning and evening to let her know that I am okay, but otherwise you will not hear from me. Likewise, I will not be posting to this photo blog. When I get back into normal mobile phone range, I plan to update a series of photos from the last few days.
Enjoy.
Rex.
