Leaving Canberra.

So.....we drove back yesterday and did the whole trip in 14 hours, leaving at 11.00 am and arriving at Frogknot at 1.00 am ACT time but midnight Queensland time.Good old Roxy! What a trooper.....a trip of 2424 kilometres without skipping a beat and capping it all with a 14 hour return trip.We came back via Goulburn, where we had lunch then on up the Remembrance Highway between Canberra and Sydney. We by-passed Sydney on the M7 before heading towards Newcastle and turning off up the Hunter Valley to Cessnock before retracing our trip down from Singleton back to Glen Aplin via the New England Highway.We had intended to camp for the night at Burning Mountain. We stopped at Wingen for tea at the Tavern there. What a great place that was!...it was very friendly and welcoming with quick service. We bought tickets in the weekly weekend meat raffle but were unlucky. The landlord shook our hands when we left and wished us a safe journey.We stopped at Burning Mountain but it was a 2 hour return trip to the lookout and the Sun was already setting. We will have to do it again. We decided to just carry on and head home.It was a one suicidal kangaroo and three fox trip back. The kangaroo was just stood in the middle of the road and I had to swerve past it on the other side of the road. The foxes were a lot more quick witted and we only had fleeting glances of them......Tamworth, Armadale, Glen Innes and Tenterfield......and finally home.We had to shift the bed back into place after we moved it out to paint the floor before we left....but after that it was straight to bed.
