Hi Everyone,

Well Narrabri was our next stop. This small town was devasted by a flood in 1864, but was rebuilt.
Cotton was introduced in the area and now enjoys one of Australias largest yields. Our first day here we walked around the town looking at the many historic building, and visiting the cotton museum. Bought a hand cream made from the cotton oil. Certainly made my hands nice and soft.It was also a day of relaxing after the walk the day before.
 The next day another early morning rise to travel out to see Kaputar Gorge. It was very misty but beautiful at the same time. We went for a walk over the gorge,  where I stepped over a snake all curled up lucky I didnt see it at the time. Bob pointed it out after I had gone over it.


At one of the lookouts we came across a pile of ladybird, black and orange, they seem to be nesting or breeding, here we we enjoying the scenery when all of a sudden these ladybirds started biting us so it was  a quick race back to the car. I have never heard of them biting before so maybe it was breeding time.
