Jour 3
Liddell Power Station
10 novembre 2023, Australie ⋅ ⛅ 20 °C
It rained the night before and the instrument panel got some moisture inside. Very hard to read. When we entered a small town on the highway, a Police car was sitting on the left. As we passed his brake lights flickered, and then he pulled out behind us and followed us for a bit, I knew I hadnt been speeding but he followed long enough to do a rego check. Then he put on his siren, I pulled to the side of the road, but he sped past and pulled up the car that was, by that time a fair way up ahead. Yes foggy instruments....🤣😅En savoir plus

Scone
10 novembre 2023, Australie ⋅ ⛅ 20 °C
We rode on as the weather was starting to look a bit ominous! Called in at the first motel here, they had one room left - King suite with a spa!! It also came with a price tag $185 so the kind lady rang the budget motel up the other end of town and got us one for $110. No spa in this one 🙃🙃En savoir plus

Jour 3
Tahnee & Marco's
10 novembre 2023, Australie ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C
Came along Monavale Road and stopped at the Bahai House of Worship. I had a lot to do with the Bahais of Toowoomba back in the 1980's. They are a kind lot of people. We stopped for lunch at Whale Beach and arrived just after Tahnee got home from work. Had some lovely drinks out on the front deck. Where they live is a lovely part of Sydney. It would be easy to pretend that the Western suburbs just don't exist if you live here.En savoir plus

Jour 4
Avalon Beach and Barrenjoey Lighthouse
11 novembre 2023, Australie ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C
Tahnee and Marco went to Pilates and we wandered down to Avalon Beach for a quick sketch. We had juice at a cafe and then drove up to Barrenjoey Headland. We walked up the path to the lighthouse. Had our Remembrance Day service up on the headland. We had an ice-cream at the beach and lunch at the RSL. On the way home we stopped in at various spots and watched the sail boats.
I checked the valve clearances and they were all spot on, so no changes there. Spark plugs running cleaner than before I put in the new rings. In the evening we sat out on the top deck and had sunset drinks. Tahnee and I sat down and watch the first half of Roman Holiday with Audrey Hepburn......... a perfect end to a beautiful day.En savoir plus

Jour 7
Sydney Town
14 novembre 2023, Australie ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C
Marco dropped us off at the bus stop & we caught the bus into town. One hour to get there. In the city we wandered up to the Art Gallery where Sue had coffee while I wandered around. We trudged up town and after getting lost found cousin Jamie on the Townhall Steps. Had an enjoyable catch up over lunch. After lunch we caught the train, but yes we caught the wrong one, so we ended up getting off at Museaum Station......En savoir plus

Green Square Station
14 novembre 2023, Australie ⋅ ☁️ 23 °C
We took the opportunity to visit the Museum, given we had time before meeting Tahnee and Tiger for tea at Green Square Station. We found the Penguins, been looking for them everywhere. Finally got on the right train and had some time waiting for Tahnee looking up at a giant hole in the roof above the courtyard.En savoir plus

Jour 8
Kadinsky
15 novembre 2023, Australie ⋅ ☁️ 23 °C
Because Sue did the footprints, we don't have a foot print for the day when I visited John Simms and then went to the Kadinsky Exhibition with Tahnee. So this page is a sort of compromise. Had morning tea and lunch with John where we talked all things old BMW. I caught the train back into Sydney and had more time at the galley, which was terrific. Tahnee met me there at 6pm and we went to the major Kadinsky exhibition together. We finally got home and it was the end of our last day in Sydney. The next morning we said a sad goodbye and headed out to the freeway. We stopped at the Hawsberry River briefly before riding on.En savoir plus

Jour 9
Tamworth
16 novembre 2023, Australie ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C
We had a truck stop us in the middle of Singleton to tell us our back tyre was showing canvas!! It wasn't..... we had ridden through something white which made it look like it was!!!
A fairly hot day for riding.
Mal wanted to dive into the photo at the bakery in Tamworth and reflect on some of the highlights of the trip not yet covered.En savoir plus

Jour 9
Tenterfield
16 novembre 2023, Australie ⋅ ☁️ 25 °C
We left Tamworth and it was hot and then as we climbed toward Armidale the temperature dropped and the riding was pleasant. We thought we would stay in Glen Innis, but the motels were expensive and the day was young but sore was my bum. Rode through a few light showers but didn't get too wet.
Found a good motel in Tenterfield that brought our meals to our room, how good is that!!! Cucumber also got to sleep under cover.En savoir plus

Jour 10
Stanthorpe
17 novembre 2023, Australie ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C
The recent rain was starting to add green to the burnt areas around Stanthorpe. A guy in a car ahead stayed in the right overtaking lane and ignored the traffic behind, some people can be either bloody minded or just inconsiderate. We decided to head here for breakfast. A lady called Kath stopped to admire Cucumber. She has taken up riding at 50 and has a 650cc Kawasaki ... Versys, or something like that.En savoir plus
