We needed some things from shops not available locally, and chose to drive to Wagga Wagga to get them. The usual route was closed by flood waters from the Murrumbidgee River over the Sturt Highway, so a detour was taken. Part way along I realise that there isn't enough fuel to continue that route, as high octane fuel can't be bought in small towns near here, so the detour was amended to reach a suitable fuel station.
Of course, this means more roads to map, more side roads to identify and a visit to the flooded river along the way.
We visited Barellan, Narrandera, Coolamon and Wagga and have been adding to the map for those places overnight. One of the places we wished to visit in Wagga was in an area traced from Nearmap, so we have been able to add street names to some of that area.
