Got an early start this morning, left Singleton at sparrows, refuelled at Muswellbrook as the sun came up

Express freighted it to Tamworth where we took the obligatory golden guitar shot , had a look at the country music hall of fame and then headed off to Armidale

Feeling mighty jealous. Have done the Sydney/Singleton/Muswellbrook/Tamworth run many times in the FB... think it probably knows it's own way by now. The EK hasn't made it any further than Mount White. Maybe it's scared of hills, and I need to get it a set of horse blinkers :think:

Safe travels.

Cheers,
Harv
