On the Road at Last! 23 October 2005

We had a few months at home to recuperate from our last holiday and then we were all set to take off, when Laura, our daughter, broke her leg skiing. What to do? We thought of dumping her outside a hospital and running away very quickly, but in the end our paternal/maternal instincts took over and we brought her home to recuperate. Now that she is hobbling around on her crutches, we feel confident to leave her to the tender mercy of her friend and we are hitting the road again! Yaaah!
While we haven’t made any definite plans, we are heading in a southerly direction to attend Wangaratta Jazz festival and then - who knows?
Set off in the late afternoon and after a hairy drive up Macquarie Pass, settled down at Gunning for the night. Gunning is a small village with a classic Chinese café, straight out of a 50’s movie. We camped by a creek and in the morning, we were awakened to the sound of gentle rain.
