George finally left Thargomindah for Durham Downs Station on the Friday towards lunchtime, 4 days later than expected. The trip was a good one and our 1984 coaster handled the drive in well,
with very little dust finding its way inside. George had taped a few vents, floor hatches and inlet holes and we were surprised at the way she travelled.
The Station is north west of Thargomindah, and he travelled along the road towards Innaminka before turning north past the Bellara Gas Centre site. This natural gas field is situated on Durham Down's land, along with other gas and oil fields. Workers off the station head to Innaminka sometimes on the weekends, so we will take a weekend and head off there and to the Burke and Will's Dig Tree sometime.
