Tomingley is an interesting C/O point. Just over the Safe-T-Cam point. You camp there? I used to stop there going to Brisvegas. You could get a fair way off the road.

No, didn't camp there. Went back to West Wylong.

When I do Brisbane I turn left at West Wylong and go via Condobolin/Narromine. Miss two cameras that route and not many caravans.

Went that way often myself. If I did go to Tomingley I still went through Narromine. Beat going through Dubbo

The Parkes bypass must be good for trucks and better still when finished.

Been a few years since I did it. Didn't know they were putting that in.

No, it is open but roadworks are still occurring including single lane usage at times.
I went through Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday morning.

And it still is.

Been a while. Glad to see things haven't changed too much. Like to see more showers, but you can't have everything.

Surprised you like it, Ian. They never cooked my steak until it was like a boot. [bigrolf]
