Covered some serious miles today!! Left Wagga about 8.30 this morning, which meant that I was too early for the liquorice factory at Junee. Sad face. Headed through to Young, where I picked up some subway for beakfast/lunch, then through to Bathurst, when it was bucketing down with rain! I've been to Bathurst three times now, and its been raining every time!! From Bathurst, I went to Lithgow, which wasn't very exciting, but the road out of it was super cool-it zig zaged up the hill over the town and the view was AMAZING! I saw a cop pull a guy over and the cop had a Blues sticker on the cruiser!! Google tried to send me back towards Sydney to get to Newcastle, but I made my own way and went over the Blue Mountains. It kind of felt like tassie, maybe the huon. It was really rainy and foggy though, which was a real shame, because I could see on a clear day you would be able to see for miles. Then I did some more zig zagging throught another national park in Galston, which had some more awesome hills. It was a great road to drive- my left arm was sore from stearing round the corners by the end of it. Saw the most hilarious street sign on the way through- "Abbots place. No through road" haha. Between all my national parks, I spent about two and a half hours on 60 and 80km speed limits. Made awesome time between Wagga and Newcastle. Took two hours less than google predicted, so I got in before it got dark which was good. I saw something really cool in Wagga yesterday I forgot to mention- the Riverina Regional Library. Its in a truck! I've heard of them before, but I've never seen one.

I'm staying with some friends of mine, Janelle and Stephen, who I met on my crazy disorganized impromptu trip to CMC Rocks the Hunter earlier this year. They have a slightly crazy family too, so I feel right at home. We have spent the evening sitting round watching Hamish and Andy and eating Noodle Box.
