It was cool this morning and we left about 8.55am and drove to Cobar. We got there about 11.00am and parked the vans in a caravan friendly parking area across the road from the Visitor Information Centre. We walked to the Visitor Information Centre and found there was an attached Museum. We decided to have lunch first and then return and pay the admission to the museum. The museum was full of atrifacts from Cobar's early days and we spent about an hour in there. We left Cobar about 1pm and drove another 80 kilometres to the Florida Rest Area where we spent a lazy afternoon and restful night.
