Fun Filled - West Wyalong to Dubbo Leg

Our schedule had us only covering 255km today but I think we took the longest time on record to cover that distance due to frequent stops.
We started with breakfast at one of the local bakeries at West Wyalong and an "up-down-and-around" through the town to have a bit of a look about and take a few photos.
We then headed out of town towards Forbes where we discovered that the new motor museum had opened recently. McFeeters Motor Museum is a fantastic stop off and has an excellent display of both classic and historic cars.

The display kept us busy for quite a while and it's well put together with something to charm everyone. Robert was delighted to see a Pontiac Transam GTA (1987) included in the display along with a good selection of rare and historic vehicles. The museum's owners have a particular interest in British marques and there was a stunning display of vehicles of that genre. This spot is highly recommended for a stop over.

We then motored onto Parkes and enjoyed a lunch stop at the Radio Telescope visitor centre. This was also a great place to spend some time and we enjoyed a very good lunch. Of course there was the need to take some more photos.

We passed through Peak Hill and stopped by the old Holden dealership there. It wasn't open but there was some interesting sights to be seen through the windows.

Finally we have arrived in Dubbo, we have had a walk down town and have enjoyed a tour throught the Old Dubbo Gaol.
