The Last Leg of our Magical Adventure

Double storm front heading our way!

Travelled through flooded roads, witnessed acres of destroyed wheat fields, flooded creeks, raging waterfalls and great storms but by the time we arrived at our mates place at Denman on the 7th December it was a beautiful blue skied day.

We spent 4 fantastic, hedonistic days with Sue and Craig on Amarina Farm. This is the most beautiful horse stud with million dollar views and gorgeous mares and foals bred for racing.

Craig and Sue were wonderful, generous hosts and we sure know how to party!!!  Four nights in a row.


On wednesday SS and I went on a motorbike ride up through Widden which is in a valley with sheer sandstone cliffs surrounding the green pastures and more horse studs and farms. Absolute magic. We then continued to Rylstone for a pub lunch. Top country town, we must return to this area as there's so much more to see.

On Friday did a bit more exploring and checked out Glebawn Dam, where there's a great campsite right on the dam and famous for it's fishing.

On our last night they even turned on an amazing sunset.

Saturday was another perfect sunny morning and we had a final drive around the farm, said our farewells and with a " Thank God they're going, we can give our livers a rest" ringing in our ears, we continued on our travels.

We headed on to Bathurst via Sofala. This is a beaut historical village in a small valley. We must come back as there are great bike roads, an old pub and a campsite about 6ks out of town on the river.
We ended  staying 2 nights at a  free campsite on Fish River 6ks out of O'Connell.

 On Sunday we took off on the Suzuki past Lake Lyle, a large dam owned by Delta Electrical, which had water spilling over the dam wall.


Then on to Jenolan Caves. The views were magic and the roads were exciting. We had forgotten just how beautiful this area is.

Our last night before we headed home we spent on the upper Shoalhaven River about 14kms north of Braidwood called Warri Reserve.

Don't ya just love this photo of SS having a shower!!

Arrived home on the 14th December, seven and a half weeks of pure adventure, seeing just a small amount of our wonderful country. We travelled 5,800 kms not including what we travelled on the bike. Spent way too much on grog but our memories are priceless. Can't wait to do it all again but for now we have to settle down and get a real job!!! Back to reality.
