Absolutely cold waking up along side beautiful Curtis park. What do you expect, being 1000 meters above sea level in the highest city in Australia. Tamworth was great and a relief to leave because the shallow pockets were starting to get holes in them at the big Tamworth show..... Not to mention the politics and persuasion that took place, because every ride was to be ridden according to the kids. Got over that huddle with them using Armidale and the exact words "Let's see what Armidale has to offer."
Ok, what was it. The Friday 13th pastafarian prayers (good for the kids) or just my bad luck.
We drove straight in to the Armidale Autumn Festival: rides, rides and rides. The kids have one over me as to being able to go to two festivals in two separate cities in one day. At least we sat right under the fireworks! If we were any closer we could have lit them ourselves. That's enough shows for the year, let's get back to some serious travelling, whatever that may mean.
Australia is growing up - or growing down - whichever way you want to look at it. I've hiked these roads 15 odd years ago, and I must say, the cultural diversity now is unbelievable. Just while writing this line, it is so good to hear the church bells on a crisp Sunday morning. Hope that never changes. Aussie, Aussie, Aussie.
