We have been on a couple of club events this year.

Now we are both retired we can join in the mid-week run.

The first was to the Wollomombi store to the east of Armidale and then a stop at the Wollomombi falls.

Just a bit of a flow, but wasn't that about to change!

Then the second run was a trip to Dorrigo.

The Hastings river club drove up the mountain to meet us at the top of the hill.

 

The cows are very happy with lots of grass as we have had sooooo much rain. Mooooo.

Dorrigo had a ridiculous amount of rain due to the tail end of cyclone Alfred.

Both clubs were invited for morning tea at a home in Dorrigo with the most spectacular views.

On a clear day you can see the sea.

They say at night you can see the glow from the towns on the coast.

The climates different from Armidale because of some of the beautiful plants that don't do well at home.

After a picnic lunch we stopped at Dangars falls. 

Not danger falls as some cheeky person had put on a sign. 

Although a few stupid people have died here usually doing stupid things.

 


The water is flowing well due to all the rain. With a rainbow.

Bonus, we saw a bearded dragon.

The Cortina was going great until there was a sudden overwhelming smell of petrol. 

We had burst a fuel line near the Inces road intersection, about half a km from Armidale on the Waterfall way…(close enough to call a taxi, which was my first suggestion…)

Graham and Frosty got the Cortina going again, so made it home okay.

I hope it’s still going when we drive it to Dubbo next week.
