Roma is a busy town due to the gas industry. The locals understandably have varying opinions on the large scale of fracking in the area. We stayed at the gun club in Roma which was quiet except when the Thursday practice and Saturday comp was on.
After Roma we tried a couple of free camps before staying at Lightning Ridge. While there we did a trip out to the Grawin opal diggings where we had a nice hamburger lunch at the Club in the Scrub.
Several days later we arrived at Bourke where the temperature was in the mid 30s.

We are at the Club in the Scrub - it looks a bit 'rustic'

The Club has a TV. They must use it to watch the footy

Lightning Ridge has several quirky buildings illustrating the local sense of humour
