We are at Parkes now. Nearly got run of the road by a big rig that kept flashing his lights at me.We were doing a 110 in a 110 zone with a caravan in front so this drongo starts to over take on no passing lines up hill and a bend in the road about a km away and no passing lines there. Wait for it, A road train appears comimg the other way, What does he do, flick the n ear side blinker on and pushes the caravan rig and us onto the dirt with a drop off mm away. Stopped at Gilgandra police station and put his pot on.Any NSW person know what the thousands of acres of yellow flowing plants are..

The plants are canola Norman. (Unless you saw some sunflowers!)
Canola is used for cooking oil, margarine & other food stuffs.
Destroyed the butter market when it took over the market share. (dairy farms)

Canola Norman. The little black bits in between the plants are left here by kiwis that are nearly run off the road.

Sheep shit it is called and I hear it is very good for gardens and crops

We just refuelled at Injune and decided to stop here for the night.. A whopping 420ks today

Nice and warm here 23.8 in the bus at 1645hrs. These Qlders think that the double unbroken lines mean you are to overtake, scary shit these roads.
