Spent last night in Dubbo and had a very nice evening meal at a pizza restaurant. Weather continues to be fairly warm but we aren't complaining. We spent an hour wandering round the Dubbo botanic gardens this morning before we headed off on the next leg of our journey. There were some huge orange fish in a stream in the gardens, and if I had been one of the ducks I think I would have felt a bit nervous. But the highlight of the gardens had to be the loos. Yeah, I know, pathetic... So you walked into this stainless steel tardis and closed the door then an American male voice that sounded disconcertingly like George Clooney invited you to push the green button to lock the door. George then reassured me that if I didn't for some reason press the unlock button it would unlock itself in 10 minutes. Soothing music then started to play but disappointingly there were no buttons you could press to change to a different tune. You pressed a button to get a predefined issue of toilet paper but there was NO button to activate a flush cos it did that automatically when you either washed your hands or pressed the unlock button. Smart ass, I thought!
But wait, there's more! If you happened to be blind the instructions were all duplicated in braille! Although how you would know that, if you were blind, is a bit of a puzzle. Anyway, I realise all this sounds like loo scifi so below are the pictures to prove it.
Scenic photos are of the Warrumbungle Hills which get included because they have such a great name, also a shot of burnt scrub which went on and on. Must have been quite a blaze.
Having a good time and currently in Narrabri where we apparently have a choice of 2 eateries tonight, it being Sunday.
