Rushcutters’ Bay – Bathurst - Parkes

Had a late start to the morning after a quick breaky at the doggies café we were off making tracks back up to the Blue Mountains. Raced through to Bathurst and caught up with Wayne & Sharon who had stopped at leisurely intervals on their way up. We did a quick lap around Mount Panorama and said we should have raced Wayne & Sharon around the track. It would have looked a hoot seeing two large big buses racing around the track. I have to say, I can finally see where Mt Panorama gets its name from. What a stunning view.

Bathurst is a beautiful town. Full of lovely old heritage buildings and very wide streets. The central CBD is a reversing in 45o angle parking. Another classic NSW country tradition. We had a nice lunch with the guys and then moved on to Parkes. The countryside is just windy hills and the land is starting to dry out considerably since leaving the mountains.

Didn’t seem to find all the Elvis entertainment as yet, but we had a nice dinner at one of them millions of Parkes pubs and decided on an early night.
