Thurs, 1st Dec - Bathurst

The rain had stopped by Thursday morning and we left Mudgee and headed to Bathurst.  We stopped in and visited a friend before driving to the top of Mount Panorama to have some lunch.

After lunch, Rick dropped me off in the main street to do some shopping while he visited the mechanics at Bathurst Nissan.  They are the guys who fixed our turbo sensor when it failed on our last trip.  Rick found out the part number so he could advise Nissan in Moruya what to order.

We left Bathurst and headed about 30kms to a free camp on the Orange Road.  We found a lovely, quiet spot next to a dam to spend the night.  Rick built a fire and cooked us a lovely meal.
