As Tony is busy this week with work, I have taken it upon myself to go on adventures to continue our quest. This week, I have gone to Bathurst with some girls from work. From our place it takes about an hour to get to Bathurst, and it’s a super gorgeous drive with an abundance of farmland, filled with green grass, cows and sheep grassing the hills with mountains as back drop in the distance. Almost breath taking, when it’s sunny, unfortunately it has been raining for about a week straight here. Yep, the drought is over in Aussie that’s for sure. As the flood waters rise, Aussie becomes more of a wetland then desert. Thankfully, in the caves we are untouched by the abundance of rain, flood wise anyway. We are experiencing some great greens in the trees and lots of squishy ground to walk on. This past week, the guides in the caves had to close one of the caves down temporarily because there is an underground river in the cave, and well, it decided to rise.
The purpose of our adventure to Bathurst was actually to see the new Harry Potter movie, yep that’s right, what do three late twenty year-old ladies need to do…they NEED to see Harry Potter! Hahaha It was great! Dark movie, but good, definitely can’t wait for the second part! We also got a chance to get some shopping in! That’s right, when you live in Jenolan Caves, it’s a big outing to get to Bathurst and go shopping! We had a great time, purchasing a new billiard que as the last one, well we will say- fell and broke…yeah fell and broke! Haha The other thing that happens when you get to leave Jenolan, is that you get to experience some great food in the local area. We happened to go to an Italian pub, and had some delicious pizza and pasta! Yum!
Cindy- please tell Gary this next part- as I think he would appreciate it!
Also in Bathurst there is a really big race track, and get this…through the regular other 360 days a year, it’s just a normal road! But there are still all the side padding up and everything! It’s really cool, as it winds up and down the Panorama Mountain. It’s just a regular used road, but then come the one race week it’s crazy big here! It’s like NASCAR but Aussie version I believe! I didn’t have my camera so I have again stolen pictures and put them here…but I will be going back with Tony and getting some of my own!
