Touring about....

Well we have gone a few places. Over ANZAC weekend (like their memorial and veterans day), we went on this crazy driving trip to Lithgow. Well we went to Dubbo the first night, went to Lithgow to see the Small Arms museum, and was going to go to Ironfest (which is like a midevil festival with lots on early Iron working). Well Ironfest did not look that great so we go get lost in Sydney. Well not in Sydney, just in Parramatta, Penrith, and Manly. We got stuck on Manly (it is a penensula and there is one road in and out) and in search of a hotel, found Parramatta. Either way, it was great trip and enjoyed by all.



This is me and Helen at the beach in manly. It was so beautiful. I would love to go again.
This is Austin and Helen. She HATED to have her feet touch sand. We put her down to stand on the beach and she screamed bloody murder. Then we walked to the water edge and she saw that wave coming and screamed the loudest cry I have ever heard. Might be a while before we are beach goers.
Ha ha, it is fall here! And it is the end of April in the pic. Don't you love the colors? The drive from Sydney to say Dubbo is just lovely.


We went to the tourist information center in Cobar and they have a lovely little museum about Cobar, Mining, and olden times. Here is Austin checking our new car, a Nissan X-trail.

This is Austin in front of the big COBAR sign. It is put on the back of the old mining area just on the edge of town.
Austin driving on the other side of the car.
Inside the Tourist center, they converted the basement to look like a old underground mine. Here is me and Helen.
Next we drove out to Devils Rock which is like 5 min from cobar. it is supposed evil place by the natives. Anyways, it was not that bad. It is out by Oldey Reservoir (we live by Newey Reservoir (no, I did not make this up, old and new). Anyways. Here are some more pics.
