After enjoying the quiet days and reasonably nice, moderate south coast weather in Nelligen for a couple of days it was time to make our way to the ACT, Canberra in particular.Packing up and heading off I whispered a little prayer to the Nissan gods to be kind to our little silver rocket, as in our path lay the Clyde Mountains.Now we had been made aware of this very steep and winding range by none other than Sunrise sports reporter Mark Beretta.Being avid Sunri...

The drive from Sydney to Kiama was absolutely beautiful some of the best coastal scenery yet.We actually missed a fantastic photo opportunity at Bulli, by the time we had spotted the lookout it was to hard to pull the big girl in! The view was amazing, what I could see of it.We had arrived at Kendalls on the Beach Holiday Park, what a top spot.You could see the water glistening through the cabins just in front of us.Once we got the van set up we were straight o...

We had left Bathurst by 10am and were syked up for Sydney. As we turned left onto the highway it felt like we had hit a bricwall!We had driven straight into a head wind that would knock your socks off! Holly s***, we had been on the road for at least 20 minutes and James hadn't made it out of 3rd gear! He clearly had the s***s at this stage and was ready to pull the van off the road and pull up stumps. But he pushed on through, whinging all the way till we reac...

A few hours down the road we arrived at Bathurst Big 4 situated pretty much right next to James favourite toy shop BCF."That aint livin Barry". After setting up the van we sat down with a coldie to discuss our plan of attack while admiring how filthy our van and car had become.Obviously Mount Panorama was first on the list.I'm not really into cars, watching them going round and round a track doesn't really do it for me.The speed limit for cars around ...

It was time again to hit the road. About 70kms out of Dubbo we went through the small town of Peak Hill.Spotting a sign on the side of the road saying "Open Cut Experience" ahead, we thought why not, so we pulled in to have alook. The experience is FREE which is what we like to see!There are about 6 walking tracks with viewing platforms, picnic spots and information signs all around the previously active mine.It has had a couple of starts, both underg...
