Yesterday Bathurst

Def I could live in Bathurst  its so cute like old Sydney all those beautiful houses. We went to the mineral museum which is in a restored schoolhouse, which itself is worth seeing. Its the collection of a guy from Bathurst which he gave to the town. They are very lucky its wonderful and well curated. Such a difference  arranging things well makes. I'm not very good at that so I never understood it. We spent two hours there. We went to look at a national trust house but it wasnt open so we just looked at the garden in the rain. The house was called Miss Traills house full of family collections of things, reputedly. Then we went on a the town heritage trail which mean missing turns and turn arounds but was interesting. We saw Ben Chifleys house in a very cute part of town old railway workers cottages on little blocks and tiny houses. 

Then we drove up Mt Panarama which we never intended but it was interesting. My friends father worships at the foot of Mt P the Bathurst race is the high point of his year. I think he has every year on video since video was invented. I think he thinks video was invented to record 8hr of Bathurst every year. In the phamphet  about the track in big letters were THE ROAD IS AN ORDINARY 2 LANE ROAD SPEED LIMITS APPLY. Obviously some of the dudes have some issues! Not me I did 40 on the SSES yess there is a sign saying sses. Peeking into other worlds is interesting. We had a tea at the top and there were gorgeous views over the valley to the Blue Mts. got to move off to the Zoo goodie.
