Awoke to the sound of birds again. And diesel heaters (it isn't THAT cold, guys). It was great by the river, like last night there were many birds again. After a quick breakfast we loaded up the van and left for Narrabri. Today we were driving along the Newell Highway. We hadn't done much highway driving up until now. If you don't like highway driving you probably won't like the Newell. It is full of trucks. The speed limit is 110km/h and in many places the road...

This morning we woke to the sound of a rooster. We were at Wellington Caves, and the first tour started at 9.30am fake time. Still not used to daylight savings so this felt like 8.30am. As checkout time was 10am we had to have breakfast and pack up. We drove up to the kiosk carpark and bought tickets to all 3 tours. For two people this was nearly $100 but I reckon it was well spent as the Wellington Caves are well worth seeing. First up we visited the Gaden Cave...

Today we said goodbye to our camp site in the motorhome park at Mount Panorama. It was strange to wake without the sound of track preparation. The entertainment this morning was watching another renter damage the motorhome they had hired (backing it into a light pole). Brett and I had to make a quick trip to Mount Victoria to pick up our wine which we had left at Mum's. It was funny because it appears that there is no checking of glass in the motorhome park and...

It was hard to get up early on race day because daylight saving had come in overnight, so we were trying to get up an hour earlier than usual. It wasn't even fully light before the sound of track preparation started. It was also very cold, so we didn't get started as early as we might have liked to. Never mind. Today the V8 Utes and the Porches were having a race before the main race, but the day started with the V8s doing their morning warm-up. Brett and I wa...

Brett and I started the day with a walk down to the merchandising area. But first we had some distractions. Distractions at a race meeting - who would have thought? The first distraction was race cars. We walked down to the gate near Rydges Hotel. At the top of the mound you are at Murrays Corner and due to the big screen and the tower, you can find out a little of what is going on. I finally got to see some Formula Fords race. None of my companions were at al...
