Day 89: WW: Where's Wally? NO! West Wyalong!

Moving on down south we come to West Wyalong. Where is it, you may ask? Well, drive through Dubbo and just keep going down the globe until you come to Wyalong. Then you go about 5km further and you get to West Wyalong.The plane outside the caravan park. There are a lot of randomly placed airplanes in or near these inland towns.

On the way, you pass through Parkes "The city of The Dish" and are tempted to divert to see the huge radio telescope for the photo opportunity and also because of the promise of coffee.
The huge 'dish' is the one that the movie "The Dish" is about. It is the dish that was used to follow the first man on the moon, live and as it happened, broadcast to the world. It is an impressive dish and, very excitingly, it moved while we were watching! Ooooooh!

Once you have been impressed with the big dish, you go for coffee and discover that somebody you have worked with for 10 years has a secret other life...hanging out with Elvis Presley. TC, you dark horse, who would have known! Here is the evidence, as was displayed in the coffee shop:

TC in his celebrity phase. Or maybe his evil twin?

You drive and drive and drive through clouds of locusts (we can't decide if they are grasshoppers or locusts, so we will call them locusts today) which get randomly splattered against the windscreen and van. Either they are suicidal or are very stupid. They are everywhere.

The Ace Caravan Park is pleasant and the showers are hot. A walk into the town for a bit of exercise and an afternoon to relax after the long drive.

All that is needed now is food and a nice, comfy, warm bed.
