We left Sydney behind still in the rain of the next morning. As we made our way to Liverpool the weather cleared, sun breaking through the could cover to create a day of humidity. We were stopping for a night or two to catch up with friends that we had not seen for some time, but very good friends that we'd made through friends back at home.
Arriving at their place we were to say the least so very warmly greeted. The time gap had almost as long as it had been opened now closed up again.
Catch up chatter and banter into the evening before sitting down to a beautifully home cooked meal with the attendance of another few friends to join the evening. Sunday after Saturday was a bit of a recovery day! The hostest with the mostest was as had been perfect. Her husband, her boys and her friends most generous in sharing their hospitality with us. Another night before we thanked them for their precious weekend time with family and friends as they headed back to work and we headed even further south so much closer to home.
Thank you for the memories, to very special people. Your hospitality will always be appreciated.
Moving on we arrived at a pretty place along the inland foreshore at George Basin where we pitched for two nights. The weather again continued to stay cooler but we remained some spirits after the high we had experienced over the weekend. The day dawned as we headed through Nowra, onto Moss Vale. This part of the trip was a little more interesting.
As we headed from the coast we had to make our way across the Great Divide on to Moss Vale. The climb was so high towing the van was not easy. It applied a lot of pressure to the car whereupon we had to make several stops along the route for the car too cool down before continuing. It was a little hairy in view of the fact that we'd almost travelled 40,000 kilometres around Australia and only about another 2,000k's from home the car was telling us she was also tired! We made it up, through Moss Vale before we settled for the night at Gundagai.
