Lovely drive between Dubbo and Orange on the Mitchell Highway, not too hilly with beautiful green vistas and not too much traffic. After 300kms I arrived here by 1pm but I did set off at 7am and had lunch at Macca's in Orange. Last time going to Geen's lake I went down the Newell via Parkes and Forbes.

This camp Carcoar Dam Camps6 #491 is in one of the windiest places in Australia, it must be it is sitting under a wind farm. When driving in you can see which way the predominant wind is blowing by the facing of the turbines and it is easy to look for a spot with a hillside between your camp and the wind direction.

It is a beautiful area right on the dam with dam water on tap, showers and flushing toilets but hilly and flat spots are not easy to find. As previously planned I intend to drive between 200 and 300kms alternate days and so will stay here another night, no hardship.  John
