We left Gilgandra at 10:00am, though had been up a lot earlier - taking the pretty Windmill Walk into town to use the public loos.We chose to refuel at 24/7 petrol station in Warren - for the novelty of using the outdoor payment terminal!
There was a lovely mural on the nearby public toilet and a neat one on the post office, also.
We see awesome things when driving. The huge cotton module storage facility outside of Warren was so amazing that we turned around to have another look!
It took a bit to work out how to get to our picnic lunch spot beside the river at Nyngan but we were glad to find it. Little swallows had nested in the roof of the shelter, so flitted back and forth while we were eating.
There wasn't much forewarning given for the Nyngan Solar Plant turn-off but we took the short drive down to that very interesting site. (It was fun to see two bearded dragons sunbaking on the fence)!
We decided to try another night of free camping and chose the Meadow Glen rest area about 60km past Cobar.
Once there we realised we'd visited for a lunch stop during our Big Loop Road Trip on 2022.
Meadow Glen had been highlighted as an editor's choice in our free camping book - and it felt more "us" than our previous Gilgandra night - even more so when we were visited by Apostlebirds!
Day 4, Gilgandra to Meadow Glen Rest Area - 381km
