Having a really good time and we have met some lovely people along the way. Arrived in Sydney and had to get the shuttle to the domestic terminal as our hotel was close by. The shuttle driver was SO helpful! Not only did he drop us off within a stone's throw of the hotel, he didn't charge us a dime. What a lovely welcome to Sydney. We have made a mental note not to stay in an Ibis hotel again. Enough said. The drive from Sydney to Bathurst was incredibly slow, especially the drive through the tunnel which seeemed to think it had had an "incident" but we couldn't see any sign of one. There was a race on at Bathurst so all the motels were booked, which we had half expected, so we carried on to Orange, a really nice place. Motel was good and we had magnificent barrimundi for dinner, wild not farmed, the oner told ùs proudly and even invited us to meet the chef and see the box of frozen fish, complete with all the detils of fishing boat name and place caught. Anyway, it was a superb meal.
We travelled to Dubbo today, stoping off to have a guided tour of Wellington Caves, an old phosphate mine with a wonderful story attached to it. Very enjoyable. Some piccies attached.
Peter, trust you will be doing a blog of the renovations up north.
Hope all is well with you all.
PS weather is great x x x
Hello! Lovely to see your news, and love the tricky way you've put white text on a white page (that's how it looks on mine anyway), but I figured out if you select the text it shows up! Sounds like Sydney was a mix of good and bad. Peter is busily sorting out his tools to figure out which ones make the cut for the final pack tomorrow. Renovation blog sounds like a great idea!
