After shopping for groceries in Deniliquin this morning I reached Hay early this afternoon and set up camp at the Hay showgrounds. The drive along the Cobb Highway was interesting - very flat dry country with cattle occasionally feeding by the roadside along the way. The surrounding countryside along the Cobb Highway is known as the Long Paddock and extends from Moama to Wilcannia - a distance of 610km. From the early 1840s it became the main stock route moving cattle and sheep from Queensland to inland NSW and is still used for moving stock today.
