Slow
start this morning as it was 6 degrees at 8am. Got the heater working and
layered on more clothes. Said bye to Darryl & Julie from Gosford area.
Heading south to the Hunter Region. Great view of the valley as we crest
another range. We love the dual lane roads, don’t have to fret when trucks
appear behind us.
Lovely
quaint old house at Murrurundi.
Massive
area for the Emirates Park racehorses at Blanford.
Morning
tea at Burning Mountain Rest Area. Had fun feeding the little birds, cheeky
things even came into the van to get the bread.
There
is a 2 hour walk up to the where there is a burning coal seam, 30m underground
and there is sulphur around the top of it. We will stop and explore next time
we are here. Nice camp area too.
Great
escarpment on Liverpool Range.
Stopped
at Scone, the Horse Capital, for a long long coal train.
Nice
pink trees – should have got a tree and bird book!!!
Cute
place Aberdeen – will enjoy exploring this area.
Through
Muswellbrook – saw a great memorial for the Vietnam war but didn’t stop so
another thing to check next time.
Past
Liddell and Bayswater Power Stations – miles of conveyor belts transporting the
coal. Big coal pits as we head into Singleton.
Stopped for lunch at a road rest area before Singleton then into find a grocery store.
Great
old houses.
Down
the highway a bit to another rest area for the night. Quiet afternoon after a downpour
of rain then the sun came out again.
