Ok.... Found a motel in kiama overlooking the beach! :) never been here before!!! Trotted off across the road for a counter meal in the grand hotel.... Wander in to order a meal in rhe dinning room... Cough, splutter, cough.... Geez is the place on fire... The smoke looked like a dense fog!!!! Get to the counter order my classic aussie pub meal schnitzel and chips and salad .... Me being me i order and then say... Did u burn the steak???? : D old matron on ...

Lol!!! Na not lost took a little road trip detour with the russmister... Beautiful areas out to the ferryman's stop... Not sure what river... Hawksbury? Anyway scenery was gorgeous... NSW truly does have some stunning rivers.. Even had a bike boat trip.... Are the orange mohawken black pony loved it!!! Well ok i did.. But so did the bike!!!! Great to catch up russco... All we needed was Quilty and Scotty and it would have been like old times!!!! Cheers!

Lovely to catch up with a great mate and his wonderful missus!! And the pad overlooking Lake Macquarie... Sensational!!!! Didn't get the rod out for a crack as the scaly giants but thats my fault... Took a long cut threw newcastle!!!! nsw roads.... Are poorly signposted!!! Lol took me a hour to find the lake.... And then circumnavigate it like Christopher Columbus!!!! Lol Next time i visit the lake house!!!! There will be fishing!!!!

Quick fuel stop and stretch.. And keep going... Run down great with new highway.. Bit boring visually.. But next time threw will do the scenic route.
