19th September 2015
Spent today entirely in Wyangala, headed in through Goulburn, Crookwell and Reids Flat, stunning views the entire way! A much shorter distance and a 3hr trip with one stop.
Main reason we headed up today was mainly to thank the neighbours for assisting us when we were stranded last weekend!
Neighbours Keith and Steve (Tiny) helped immensely so we took them up a carton of beer each and stopped for a chat. Turns out Tiny's Rodeo blew a head gasket. Feel bad but he said he could smell water in the cab for a while.
Tiny has a driveway 723m above sea level. It is steep and winding with breathtaking views. I was able to pat his goat who was super friendly, he enjoyed being scratched.
We shared a beer with Keith and had a chat for over an hour. He's a tonne of laughs!
Plenty of people around The Gap today camping and motorbiking.
Met with the local excavator to give us a quote on building a driveway, we talked for over an hour as we found we had so much in common with him from working nearby to our hometown to jobs and people we know. He was hoping to bring his brother down next week to look as he specialises in gravel driveways. He pointed out a massive granite boulder he had previously drilled exploring for granite blocks for crushing.
Less sheep on the property today, barely counted 5. This is reflected in the height of the grass!
Had a good walk around where we were bogged last week looking for a missing wheel cap off the Patrol, no luck on the property.
We left at 430pm and noted how the mountains block out the afternoon sun, this is great for the hot summers they get up here. Winter will be another story but heating is so much easier than trying to cool down!
