Memorial Gardens

The hotel in Bathurst provided a lovely hot breakfast before we headed out for the day. We considered beginning with the National Motorsport Museum but settled for a couple of laps on the Mount Panorama circuit before setting out south for Wagga Wanna.

The four-hour drive soon flattened out and became far more green than we've been used to seeing (hopefully not due to the torrential rain we are apparently heading towards in Melbourne). Mercifully a lack of roadkill and lambs frolicking in the fields made for a lot more heartening journey.

Wagga Wagga is the biggest town we've been in for a while and had more shops but had the littlest going on with few museums or events. So we found a local microbrewey and tried the local brew and hit the "beach" (an inland sandy riverbank) before enjoying happy hour schooners and chips at Bay85. A more relaxed and uneventful day than our previous, but tomorrow we head to Melbourne!Read more
