Road Trip Adventures

Recently, AmelieAnne and friends went on a road trip to the central west of NSW and the Blue Mountains. We set off in the little black city car, that was quickly going to find out about country roads. First stop.....Ebor.....with a flat tyre! Luckily, our knight, not in shining armour, but wearing a checked flanny and driving a rather large cattle truck, came to our rescue! After several consultations with the manual, a few funny comments about little black car's tyres and tools, and a few swift kicks to get the tyre off, we were on our way again.

Now, the spare tyre was only an 'emergency' type, so next stop was to purchase a completely new tyre! We were greeted by this little fellow, who was supervising the counter.....maybe to 'soften the blow' of the cost of the replacement.

 Day 2 started with a delicious breakfast.....

then included some very long, straight roads.....

an unusual, not very tasty selection of 'stuck together' lollies.....

a community craft shop with this quaint collection, showcasing some very clever knitting.....

and the historic streets of an 1800's gold rush town..... 

To finish our second day of touring adventures, we sipped champagne, dined on lamb shanks and homemade pie, and sampled a dessert tasting plate, which looked so nice I didn't have have time to photograph....too busy eating!
