Lake Liddell 1 October 2014

Set off early in the morning through a series of small historic villages. The country side is changing with the dry plains of the west giving way to the rolling hills and lush pastures of Scone and Murrurundi and old farm houses being replaced by the gigantic buildings of the horse studs. Scone and Muswellbrook are not attractive places - both have long drawn out shopping centres with transport trucks and B-Doubles roaring past from the coal mines. We camped at Lake Liddell right on the water, which had some beautiful views if you didn’t look at the enormous power station across the lake. We also didn’t go swimming when we saw the sign saying not to eat the fish or drink the water!
