Well we are slowly making our way up to the border , left Sydney yesterday via Castlereagh , checked out a shed full of toys then headed up the Putty road

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

Safe travels.

Cheers,

not for me my car it smashes into the road i have to take it real easy on that road, the other road from Guyra to Dorrigo i very nearly lost the steering when the rack hit the ground and ripped a bolt out

we plan on heading from Dorrigo to Grafton via Coramba, then Casino , Lismore . Eltham and Ballina

Armidale for lunch , some magic old buildings there

Hit some roadworks out of Armidale - now I work in the mining game and the retardation level is sky high on your average minesite but this had me shaking my head -


We were ESCORTED through roadworks today , and the entire way through we were on our side of the road and on an Undamaged stretch of bitumen
We as a species are screwed .....
