Arrival

 We have arrived - almost 2 weeks to the hour from when we left. We pulled in to Umina Beach caravan park at about 3.40 pm on Saturday16 July.

We set up and then went and had tea with Doug's parents.

The trip from Cowra was variegated, interesting, tiring and I'm glad it's over. It was -2 when we woke up in Cowra - feels like -5. Doug scraped the ice off the tent and I wiped it off the table before we had breakfast.


I was glad of all the warm layers I had brought including the scarf. I had to keep jogging to keep my toes from freezing.

We travelled through Bathurst to Lithgow for lunch. VERY nice! Foodies please note that the Tin Shed in Lithgow is a place to go.

Then we took 'Bell's Line of Road' to get to Parramatta and then the new Motorways to here. Bell's Line of Road is very pretty and very windy (as in a lot of bends) and there were lots of potholes. It was quite trying!



 We stopped in a park by the river in Parramatta and we could see where the Hawkesbury had flooded and washed out lots of trees etc.

Then it was on to the freeway and a quick (tolled) trip up to Central coast. It is a huge freeway and goes through some amazing,beautiful country.

 


And so we are here.

 The last of  Spear Creek.  Yesterday we had a slow day and fairly ordinary for all of us except Heidi. Firstly she found a lamb leg bone in the bushes and brought it back to munch on instaed of going for a walk. Then we went into Port Augusta to have our window replaced. We left the car with them and walked into town looking for coffee and lunch. We found them at the cafe on the Pichi Richi railway station. Heidi found a lady who loved dogs and had treats in her bag. Of course she was very cute and was given lots. Later on we were walking along a sealed pathway and when I looked down Heidi had a dead spotted dove in her mouth. Where did she get that from!! Fortunately she was willing to open her mouth and we discarded it. Good grief! This is NOT a 28. This is a Port Lincoln Ringneck!     Today we packed up and left. It was slow because of the rain in the night but we finally trundled off and made our merry way southish and eastish. We lunched at Burra. It was s...
