Day 2: Bollon to Noccundra

(Imogen): It was a very cold morning at Bollon. We packed up our camp and we had a beautiful breakfast of spaghetti bolognaise sandwiches. Boy we were glad that we had our thermals!

We were really helpful collecting firewood, creating stories, writing songs and doing "car school". We've been travelling from Bollon, heading for the Dig Tree, learning about Burke and Wills along the way. We saw lots of emus and some brolgas along the way too. It is very flat land and flood plains.



We saw wild goats, spotty pigs, eagles, crows and hanging birds' nests along the roadside. We saw shearing sheds, wedge tailed eagles and tumbleweeds.

We had chilli con carne at our camp in Noccundra. Our camp was by a river and there were thousands of field mice! They climbed up our tents and danced on our tents all night, I could barely get to sleep!



We went and had some showers and the showers were freezing and the floor was full of prickles, and thank goodness we had our thermals under our pj's! The night sky was amazing with lots of stars and the milky way was really pretty, like a big splat of yoghurt in the sky. The stars were like shiny sprinkles.
