Well I woke at 430am after 2 restful hours of sleep (yawn. Got ready and went over to Toc to mums place. At 615 we finally headed off on our merry journey. It was only just starting to get light. Had to keep our eye out for skippies. Didn’t want to hit one of the barsteds. Make such a mess on the car.
A town named URANA!!! Of course we would all love to get out and stick an S on the town name sign wouldn’t we. Can you imagine it? “Yes, I live in Uranas!” ROFL!
Mum nicking the lollies!
We then got stuck behind this shocker of a truck. This barsted didn’t know where the left hand side of the road was, and he was going slower than we would have liked. Mum tried passing once and he swerved into the middle of the road. So we got stuck behind him for ages. Finally passed him then watched the idiot behind us passing other cars and still swerving all over the place. Anyway we were finally free of him so kept on going.
CAR CRASH!!!
By this time I really needed the loo!!! I didn’t say anything as if we stopped those trucks would pass us and we would have to get by them again. Only 60K to Wagga Wagga. Rough road and lots of potholes help! Rides!! Who needs Dreamworld. Oh there was a dead skippy too. I suggested to mum that we play the roadkill game but she politely declined and just told me to play on my own. Hey I suppose I’m used to playing with myself...whoops...by myself! Bloody seatbelt pushing on my bladder!! We aren’t far out of Wagga now. And Redda is already rolling a smoke ready to light it the second he gets out of the car. LOL! Glad I don’t need those anymore. This area reminds me of the Midlands Hwy in Tassie, near the highest point. Oh now it’s different.
At Wagga Wagga. Stopping for Brekkie. AND A WEE BREAK!! This place reminds me of Launceston. Lots of old houses and stuff. I don’t know, it just has a similar feel. My ear is playing up, like I’m on a plane. Wonder if we are at a high altitude. On the road to Gundagai, Lalala! Just going onto the Hume Highway. Oh we bypass Gundagai, so we miss seeing the dog on the tuckerbox.
OK just slept for an hour. I dreamt that Monty was here in the car with me. When I woke up I looked for him. Poor baby. Anyway, just outside of Yass. Stopping for fuel.
Back on the road. About 250k south of Sydney now. Just asked mum and we have travelled 458k so far, and its 1137am. Oh a town called Breadalbane!! Are we in Tassie? I got UH HUH HER blaring in my ears. So addicted. I tried to update my iPod last night cos this album isn’t on it. And I think the barsted is dying. It said that I needed to run a scan of the drive for errors then said it couldn’t do it and it wouldn’t update. So I think I might be stuck with what’s on there. Shite.
My knee is burning from the heat of the laptop. Going to be a nice day I think. I would normally only be waking up. Cos we all know I have no life. There’s a turnoff to Canberra....Peter Harvey............................Caaannberar! Clare is laughing right now. I bet you said it out loud didn’t you! Oh I really love this song “Well are you such a dreamer, but yourself in my shoes, careful what you wish for love...” It’s such a nice song. OOOOOOO OOOOOooooo! Now I see red is on. Love this song too. So addicted to this band. Hey I found out that one of the girls in the band, liesha Hailey, used to be in the band the Murmurs. They sung that YOU SUCK song. Remember? “Well there’s dust on my guitar you fuck, and it’s all your fault. You paralyse my mind and for that YOU SUCK!” HAHA! I have to say I prefer UHH though.
Went past a place called Marulan, where mum and dad got scammed with the pine tree plantation back in the early 70s. Saw the turnoff to Bowral. Shouldn’t have made that backpacker joke, didn’t go down too well. Whoops! I’m also starting to trip out cos we’re going past places where I used to do the CNI database for at Telstra. Sydney was my area. I still remember the exchange codes of all the places and it’s been over 6 years now. Sad I know.
Signs by the side of the road keep saying it is a high wind area, I always thought it was a high wind area with me! HAHA! Going thru the western suburbs of Sydney. Don’t get to go over the Bridge. Doh. But it would have been to shocking with the traffic. So that’s ok.
A weird looking Subway north of Sydney
Drove along, bypassed Newcastle and stopped for another piss stop. Went thru a place called Bulahdelah! Urana is still my fave hehe! There was also a place called Wang Wauk! ROFL! So funny.
So now were here at Taree. We did 990k today (that’s 615 mile for all the oldies). We should have gone another 10 to make it the 1000 but poor mum was just exhausted. She is in bed nodding off already and its only 810pm.
Haven’t really seen the town much yet. Went for a drive to the bottle-o to get a drink and saw the river here. Looks so pretty.. It reminds me of the river at Scamander in Tassie. I think I’m missing Tassie cos everything is reminding me of it. We are going to go to Barrina tomorrow, about 450k away. Only a small trip then. Not an 11 and a half hour one like today. I am exhausted. So goodnight for now!
