What an adventure! We started out good and camped one night in front of the lake. We had a scrumptious meal cooked on the open fire…rib eye steak.. wings..prawns.. sausages and even managed to do some roasted sweet potatoes for supper on top of our charcuterie board.
Breakfast by the lake
We left towards the last silo but before we could arrive at Patchywollock we had a flat tyre. Long story short we landed up at Patchy for the night and spent it in the pub drinking with local wheat farmers b4 crawling into our bed.
Yes the pub is the meeting point of the town… only place you can get a meal…we had the lamb shank and it was decent and a very generous serve! It also have a few rooms to accommodate “stranded” people like us!?!
We laughed n drank shots and margaritas till we practically peed in our pants!
Cant remember when I had such a fun nite drinking in the middle of nowhere Oz where the population is under 50 and I am being generous!
Broke down so nibbled on our wings waiting to be towed out!
We befriended a few wheat farmers. Everyone knows everyone in this town!!! Next morning Boozer sent his cousin Speedy to come fetch us to go “riding on the wheat harvester”. It was indeed an experience and another one under the belt for me!

Although we did not complete the silo trail but we had a ball and hope to return some day to see if we can have a few more drinks with the locals!!!
A lovely “get away from it all” kind of Aussie town!
