A day of sitting in the rain , incredible storm , flooding all around us . Many towns south are being flooded and evacuated . Waga waga is moving 10.000 people out and lots of personal damage ! The roads south are all mainly closed , the roads north are closed , we are deciding to go north east. Based on the weather map and predict wind. We set of early back to Nevertire area , launch and get in the air ,a bit late but were off , Fly past Warren, its bumpy .. south wind and colder afer the rain . Push on.. watch all the rivers overflowing the banks and fields full of water , 45 km after take off i'm back on the ground too much x wind and gusty , nice to be back on the ground !
We drive about 20 km to the nearest pub thinking they may have a cafe or cell tower ... nope just a pub , Local roads are all flooding and closed . We spend the day hoping for the wind to calm down, but by 7pm we pull the pin and are drinking beer ! The pub owner gives us a place to sleep for the night , I prefer my tent , the others mainly Budd snores loadly !! Cannot handle snoring ! Next morning wake up to the garbage man at 5:30 am ahh great way to wake up ... get on the road and back to the take off , find a launch site on a dirt road very slippery !! Off we go agian !! Make it to just short of Gilgandra , very windy about 25km hr , and no real forward speed with full bar... damn wind !!! It always seems to be X or headwind ! .... oh well life in the outback !
