Scrub Stitchin has come to an end

 It is now time to travel home. We headed back to Parkes to settle in for the night. We walked into town to a Chinese restaurant. Mmmmm I was hungry.

Look at this for a meal. Sizzling Mongolian Beef and Sizzling Satay Prawns. Delicious.

It was such a big serve that we took home half of our order. That’s our dinner for the next night.


We stopped at Hay for the night.

We were walking to the cafe for brunch and saw this in the garden of a home we were passing. Very cute.


We walked passed another silo. These are just amazing.




We had the best scrambled eggs and bacon on sourdough at the Convent for brunch. A very good place to stop. Even the police recommend the omelettes.

Then down the Main Street of Hay.




After going back to the bus for a rest we went over to the nearby pub for a quick tea. We had burgers.  The special of the day. We were in and out in a very short time and back to the bus by 6.45 pm.

There was a fun display of art. It made us laugh.


I love this emu made out of scrap metal.






Time to go back to the bus. Pack some stuff up. Get some sleep ready for the trip home the next day.
We have had the best 2 weeks away. A real holiday. Thoroughly enjoyed.

Its always so interesting seeing the sights of Aussie as you travel around. Eating out is part of the fun of being on holiday, I think. Those painted silos are amazing.

I enjoyed seeing photos of your travels and particularly the art along the way. Nice silo paintings as well as the cute yard. Nice that you could enjoy yet another outing!

Everyone seems to have packed in such a lot either side of Scrub Stitching. That Chinese looks delicious, so much silo art around and I love the emu - can't beat a bit of rust and such a cute face. xx

Thanks for taking us along on your way home. I think we need to visit Hay again. So much more to see since our last visit.

Oh great travels and plenty to take your mind off the road Jo. It's good to see there are more silos for Sue and I to visit another time :-) Clever emu!
