Welcome

Welcome to Derek and Karen's travel blog. We hope you will enjoy following our journey around Australia the slow way. We will try to keep our blog entertaining for you with our photography and highlights and the occasional lowlights (hopefully not too many of those). We have a couple of adds on the right that you are more than welcome to click on to view, that will help us along the way. The add about the Amazon Kindle is about our favourite choice of ebook that we read for at least 2 hours every day. We have a Kindle each and down load all sorts of books to read on them. So we hope you enjoy our blogs.

We are now parked at Bingara for a couple of days. It is a pretty little town with the usual large clock tower in the middle on the main street on a the main intersection. There was only one shop open in the whole town and the staff were working flat out making their famous burgers with the lot. We only went in there for a small bottle of Coke for Derek to have with his Scotch for later this afternoon sundowner.

 The photo below plus this one to the right were taken from the top of the mountain to the east of Bingara. The road up to the top way so steep we had to drive up there in first gear and come down in the same gear with the brakes on hard also. I think that would be the only drive up that road we will ever want to do. The brave can walk it, I will need to do that on my hands and knees. Too steep for me, all 1.5k's of it.
P.S. You will never find me walking up that hill. Just thought I should clarify that.
