It has taken us some time to work through all the photos we took whilst on our major excursion to get to Brisbane (for a family wedding) via Griffith, Cobar, Bourke and Stanthorpe. It was a great trip, one which we will remember for a long time because of the very different landscape types that we went through, the unique characters of each of the towns visited, the wildlife (we hadn't seen very large flocks of emu roaming before)and the different community activities and tourist features.

As we travelled from Cobar to Nyngan, we came across a few trig points along the way. We took a short detour off the Barrier Highway to see if we could find the Boppy Mountain Area Trig Point. It was quite a steep yet good gravel road to get to where we could park the car. Aftre a short walk further uphill we found the remains of the trig point: a steel pin in the ground, a rock pile and part of the beacon vane. Three photos have been added to the Gallery: our GPS next to the steel pin; our GPS on the rock pile; and the remains of the beacon between rocks. There were great views over the flat countryside from Boppy Mountain - it certainly stands well above the plains. Thanks Geocaching Australia for the cache.
