A quick stop at Dimbulah, a pub stop at Almandan and on to Chillagoe. We really liked Chillagoe, a great outback town, the Post office hotel was a delight to stop and have a drink at. The caves were some of the best caves we have seen, truly amazing, the Old State Smelters Ruins was excellent, the creek the best swim hole. Around Chillagoe there are over 600 cave systems, some are free to explore, the balancing rock, was just that. We loved our time at Chillagoe!!
For our 3 nights in Chillagoe, we had stunning lighting storms each night!!
A pretty pond in Mt Molloy.

Tom Prior motor collection, a must for anyone visiting Chillagoe, cheaper fuel and a dear old man with a very strong passion, he started many trucks and showed us manuals etc. (Everything works).
Tom had been out delivering aviation fuel in this truck this morning.
We took a 4wd track up to Ruddy Gore, for some amazing views.
