Gundagai to Bowral to Newcastle

I left Gundagai on Saturday. I stumbled across the Dog on the Tuckerbox, which wasn't particularly exciting. The ride to Bowral was the coldest yet.

I stayed with my cousin and her family in Bowral until today. I left this morning for Newcastle. In Sydney I stopped for petrol. While I was paying for it the man in front of me was locked in a stand off with the bloke serving him. He asked for two rissoles and the guy serving him did a strange prance and asked the man to follow him. The man looked at me and said "I didn't think it was that hard" and stood his ground. The bloke behind the counter said "please sir, it will be better if you come up here". The man just repeated what he wanted and wasn't budging. I was served by someone else and they were still having a stand off when I left.

I got through Sydney and on to Newcastle. The GPS took me on a bit of a tour through Newcastle. I know Newcastle so knew it was taking me on a bit of a spiral to my destination, but it took me past the Uni and a couple of places I used to live, so I didn't mind.

Tomorrow I'll plod along at 90 up the coast until home. I have a weird feeling the bike is going to break down. I simply cannot believe it will make it the entire way round.
