Our first stop today was just 35km down the road at Forbes at the McFeeters Motor Museum which showcases a stunning private collection of vehicles ranging from 1905 to 1999 plus some vehicles on loan. The display, totaling some 64 vehicles, is housed in a purpose built complex which is architecturally impressive in itself and the collection consists of veterans, vintage, classic, street rods and custom cars.

The display was enhanced by having mannequins dressed in the appropriate period clothes placed next to or in the vehicles. The most odd or perhaps macabre vehicle on display was a Japanese funeral car which was based on a Lincoln Continental. The storyboard said there was a tradition of such hearses being very opulent and this one was certainly that, with some very intricate wood carving on the exterior and elaborate decoration inside.

We stopped for fuel and a sandwich lunch in the van at the Lions Park just outside the West Wyalong CBD. Built in 1943 in Oklahoma City, the Douglas DC3 Dakota was donated to the West Wyalong Lions Club who made it a striking feature in the Park.

Also in the Park is a display acknowledging that the Bland Shire, in which West Wyalong resides, recently joined the League of Extraordinary Communities alongside Dull in Scotland and Boring in the United States. The Bland Shire now uses the slogan "Bland Shire - far from Dull or Boring"!

Also in the Bland Shire, Weethale is some 57km west of West Wyalong and it is here where we visited another piece of siloart. The artwork was painted by Heesco Khosnaran in June 2017 and features the two main products of the area: wheat and wool.

We were looking forward to Devonshire Tea at "Whistle Stop" located in the old railway station, but we found it to be closed - not sure if that is just today or forever!

Our detour off the Newell to Weethale meant we passed through Barellan where we thought we'd stop for an ice-cream given we'd missed out on Devonshire Tea. The big tennis racquet here reminded us that Barellan is the birthplace of tennis great, Evonne Goolagong. The 13.8 metre racquet is a replica of the wooden racquet she used in the 1970s and was unveiled during centenary celebrations for the town of Barellan.

Incidentally we were lucky to get an ice-cream because the power had been off since early morning and the general store operator was just hoping the action he'd taken last night to turn all of the freezers to maximum would save his frozen stock.

Sunday night's pizza was topped with prawns and dessert was a sticky date self-saucing pudding and ice-cream.
