Cootamundra

Thursday, October 31st, 2002

Thursday 31st October, (Cowra /Cootamundra).
Our time spent at Cowra was very quiet and relaxing as I have been experiencing a, hopefully, minor medical complaint. I have had a sharp pain in my right side just below the ribs. It feels much like a muscular problem, but we have been a little worried as it seems […]

Bathurst

Sunday, October 27th, 2002

Sunday 27th October, (Bathurst).
We are finally at Bathurst; the road over the mountains was not as bad as expected, then we were hyped up for it to be bad. Victoria pass, which we had heard a lot of bad stories about, including one of how a couple lost there van and car on a similar […]

Sydney

Saturday 26th October, (Sydney).
Well we have signed the house title transfer forms and sent them back to the solicitor only to find out that the final transaction date has been put back to the 15th November. We are very hopeful that this will be the last delay in finalisation.
We met up with Sue and she […]

Sydney

Thursday 24th October, (Sydney).
It has been demonstrated again how we must have just been enjoying the relaxation again for the past couple of days, because I have once again not put finger to keys for a while. It’s not that nothing happens on the days I don’t write anything, plenty does, but it is generally […]

The Entrance

Monday 21st October, (The Entrance).
Several places were in mind as to where we were to stay tonight, being Muswellbrook, Singleton or Maitland and we were to chose on the way depending how we felt, considering my back is playing up a little. It turns out the seats in the car seam to assist when I […]

Tamworth

Saturday 19th October, (Tamworth).
We have now progressed a little further down the New England Highway to Tamworth, and talk about a change of temperature; when we arrived here the temperature was far in excess of 30 degrees, in fact the weather report said it reached 38. The overnight minimum tonight is expected to be 10-12 […]

Armidale

Friday 18th October, (Armidale).
The problem of cold evenings has been overcome somewhat by placing the doona back on the bed, and this is much better.
Armidale turns out to be a tourist delight, with plenty of old buildings around the area to fill plenty of time photographing. There are several tourist drives.
Yesterday we had a tour […]

Armidale

Tuesday 15th October, (Armidale).
A disgruntled discussion took place this morning along the lines of ‘what are we doing here in the cold’. It was rather cold last night and as a result Linda said she didn’t get much sleep because of it, so we both appeared to get out of the wrong side of the […]

Tenterfield

Monday 14th October, (Tenterfield).
The car racing for the weekend is over, and boy what a race.
We had an opportunity to have a look around today, after Linda went for a walk yesterday and called into the visitors centre and gathered some information about the area. We decided on a couple of tourist drives and a […]

Tenterfield

Saturday 12th October, (Tenterfield).
Tenterfield is our present location, and it is raining. Something that is needed extremely badly in the whole of the area we have been in the past week is rain, but they need a lot more than we have had so far today.
We did arrive early enough to set up and get […]
