Day 30 Goolgari to West Wyalong. (92 miles)

On the road by 7.30. A cool start but lots of gentle, gradual hills. The road surface was unbelieveably rough and Dermot’s wrists and bum are aching. The wind was ok at the start but then it became a headwind so not easy! Prettier scenery with lots of farmland today. A nice change from scrub.








Long straight road......








 Wonderful Silo Art in Weethalle NSW  There is actually a Silo Art Trail. Fantastic!


This is our route and we are now roughly where the key is pointing. Less than 500 km to Bondi Beach now..... we can almost hear the waves!!!

I am reading “Don’t stop me now” by Vassos Alexander, 26.2 tales of a runner’s obsession. It is beginning to inspire me so this morning I ran a mile non stop!!!!(knackered all day!!!)

Dermot forgot to mention his Emu sighting yesterday . It ran along the verge beside him for a while then wandered off. That may or may not be of interest.
 Stopping for lunch!

Day 32 Cowra to Bathurst (65 miles)

Awake very early and all ready to go but waiting for the phone call from the bike man.by 9am he told us to come as it was ready so off we set for his house and workshop. All that remains of the original bike is just about the saddle!!! He changed the crank, sprockets, cables, wheel bearings and chain. He straightened the things that needed straightening !He assured Dermot that it will see him out ( more than 2 days I hope!!!)  At 9.30 Dermot was on the road again with a day of enormous hills ahead of him plus an east wind! (We are heading east)   The scenery was lovely as we are now going through the Blue Mountains thought it’s a bit chilly! The signpost said 199 km to Sydney..... so close now! I passed a kangaroo today who was going to run across in front of me and at the last minute he changed his mind! Hopefully he’s still bouncing around as the roads now are VERY busy! Tomorrow we expect more huge mountains to cross before we reach thd outskirts of Sydney and then it...

A lovely cool morning again.... he was on his way by 7.45am. It only gets bright at about 7.30 but the clocks  will go forward next week. The road was flat and similar to yesterday but it stayed overcast all day. Lots and lots of dead kangaroos again and not much of interest to look at. We arrived early to Goolgowi and booked into the caravan site. Flies everywhere!!!! Ahhhh! We ended the day at the Royal Mail Hotel with a few drinks and a meal. All is good! Back in the camper now (19.50) and ready for lights out. A few photos first....  Leaving the hotel after dinner.  The sky as Dermot was lesving Hay this morning. Mid afternoon nap! It’s all getting too much for him!!!
