We say goodbye to our new friends from Nelson Bay and head east early. As we stayed on the unpowered side of the caravan park it would have meant starting the generator to make a coffee. So we scoot 10 kms out of town and make some noise and a fabulous cup of coffee. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

An hour later we stop for fuel and breakfast at Emmdale Roadhouse (the only stop between Wilcannia and Cobar). By chance the owner tells us the best food in Cobar is the Empire Hotel. This chance encounter will be critically important later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
