and the journey ends Bathurst to Oberon and home

We headed to Oberon and decided to visit the Jenolin caves before checking in to the motel - BIG mistake - the Veterans Hockey game had followed us to Oberon so we had to stay in the pub. The road to the caves was treacherous with multiple 15k hairpin turns and was very narrow. 

We had a great evening in the pub, good company and a good feed and headed to bed - comfy bed, shared bathroom - shared with 25 pine planters who were using the girls bathroom as well. The Juke box roared til midnight and the boys got up for work at 5am. We were up at 6am and packed, grabbed a coffee at the bakery next door planning to get to Gundagai for the night.
The frost was incredible made Hill End's look tiny, it extended to about 20 k's out of Goulburn, entire hills and paddocks even the tops of gum trees.

By Goulburn Chas had convinced me that we would "push" on to home, the thought of my own bed and shower were too good to resisit. After a quick stop to buy some decent CD's and a couple of treasures for Kaz we hit the road for the long trip home.

We needed a break from the highway so detoured through Gunning and discovered the National Holden wall of fame at Baily's Garage.

 We watched the sun set over Rutherglen and Yarrawonga, the evening light was stunning on the buildings in Rutherglens main street.

After a very long day in the car it was wonderful to hear the GPS say You have reached your destination and even better to sleep in my own bed again.
