Trevor’s Travels reaches a significant milestone in its journey.

This is post number 500.

I have thoroughly enjoyed sharing my travel experiences and photos with all of my readers. There are plenty more to come and I would encourage your to leave comments where appropriate.

For those who have come recently to this blog for the first time, let me share some of the highlights. Here is a list of some of the most popular articles that have appeared over the last three years:

Travels in Nepal
Travels in Thailand
Parks and Gardens of Australia
National Parks – in Australia and overseas

And don’t forget my photo gallery here – with over 2200 photos taken by my wife, my son and me.

2008 Road Trip to Sydney

Hay Plains, New South Wales

We are off on another road trip – this time to Sydney for Christmas. The photo above was taken on our trip last year; this year we are driving our daughter’s car, but we didn’t stop to take a photo of the Hay Plains this trip.

We left on the Monday before Christmas so this article has taken a few days to appear. Over the coming few weeks I will be adding many more articles about what we did and what we saw. I will also be adding heaps of photos.

On the first day we left home in Murray Bridge soon after breakfast. We stopped at Underbool in Victoria for a very hot lunch. We had been travelling just ahead of a cool change sweeping across the countryside. We had afternoon tea at Piangil on the banks of the River Murray. Soon after we crossed the river at Tooleybuc and into New South Wales. We bypassed Balranald and travelled on across the Hay Plains shown in the photo above.

Because of the heat the birding was poor all day. I saw very few birds as we travelled along.
