50. Mount Panorama, Shrek, A Cave and A Dish

So, after testing the Camelbak on route to Parkes... I decided it is a definite keeper! I've found that on the bigger trips, I tend to not drink as much as I should but there's no excuse now! =) Love it!

Route: Sydney - Bathrust - Orange - Parkes - Sydney
Total Distance: ~750km

The planned highlights for this trip were supposedly Mount Panorama and the satallite dish at Parkes... but as always, we discovered some other interesting attractions along the way!

We left later than usual at around 6am... we made our way to stop 1 at Mount Panorama, Bathurst and rode a couple of laps around the race track. It was sooo much fun!!! =)



On our way to Parkes... we came across this store that sold everything and anything and I even got to have lunch with Sherk! Eyeballs, intestines and what not... yummy!!


The next unplanned stop where I nearly shocked Thomas out of skin while I yelled into his headset was at the Borenore caves... we had to ride through a short distance of dirt to get to it but it was well worth it!





At this point, we were already running a few hours behind time but it would have been such a waste to not go to Parkes so we continued along. If I never made this trip, I would never know that a satellite dish is transparent from the back.



And... the interesting things one might came across in the ladies...


Overall a fantastic day however the ride back wasn't exactly the most pleasant... non stop rain, heavy fog, roadworks and cold. Even with wet weathers... I came home with guppies and goldfish in my pants and boots. I'll be looking to fix a few of the issues permanently so stay tune!
