Sydney – here I am …

Some perfect weather for the drive through country New South Wales passing through a lot of small towns that were all unique in their own way.

In Urana, I managed to get swooped by a magpie while grabbing a geocache – the nesting season has started.

In Lockhart, the verandah town, there a number of sculptures using galvanised iron as well as a spectacular showgrounds entrance.

It was then time to join the Hume Highway to Sydney but no journey is complete without a stop at the “Dog on the Tuckerbox“, 5 miles from Gundagai.

Traffic was getting heavy and in fact 50 km from Sydney it came to a standstill.

I eventually made it to my hotel for the week – The Mecure at Ultimo. Went to park the car in the car park and kept going down and down as the car park went 7 levels under the hotel and was dripping water from the walls.
