Today we’ve learnt two valuable lessons: a huge bag of oranges can be had for $3, and just because ground looks hard, it doesn’t mean you can drive over it safely. After seeing quite a few farm carts on the side of the road as we zoomed past, we managed to stop at one and buy a whole load of fruit for the cheapest prices ever, I think we’ve now got enough oranges to keep us going for a couple of weeks. We’ve also discovered quick mud, by driving over what looked to be hard, but slightly damp ground had the van ominously slump down. With a bit of nifty reversing we were out, albeit with a very dirty van!
The winding hilly road took us back to Katoomba, which we visited back in October, although the accommodation this time was noticeably down-market in comparison. (Yes, Caroline did pine as we walked past Lilianfels) The views this time were still impressive despite having seen them before, and it was still cold too, so no hanging around to see the sunset this time!
