As we left Orange, NSW

Whilst we stayed in Orange for 3 days in winter this year miss 6 year old granddaughter asked her parents, 'what is out there that Nanny and Poppy want to see and do see', so it was arranged that Miss 6 have an email address and that I send her photos each day for what I saw, in return she emailed me back with eldest son writing emails on her behalf.  This kept me busy as well as both of them.
During our time away Miss 6 and her dad went to Melbourne to a concert and then hired a car and drove to Canberra in our State Capital for a few days, going to Floriade (a flower displace) and a few other things whilst in Canberra. Miss 6's mum stayed home to look after her little brother Master 3.

On our way to the next stop for the night, before we left Orange there was another hard frost where the temperature was once again minus 7 deg C in the morning.

The landscape being covered in frost with frost on the trees.
The photos were taken from the moving vehicle as there was no where safe to stop to take photos.

This is a playground near Bathurst, NSW.

The late Peter Brock as I mentioned in another post is best remembered as King of the mountain, Peter Perfect, the mountain is Mount Panorama in Bathurst, NSW - Peter having won the the race many times.  Below is the Bust of Peter and a few of his cars.  Born 1945, died 2006.

We saw these cars along with many more in the Museum at Bathurst next door to the racing circuit.

My late Dad had 'sidecar' but a Harley Davidson one when I was very little and I loved riding in it.  Mum would be sitting as she should and I would be down in the front.

Carousel at Bathurst, NSW

Was a busy late afternoon in Bathurst when we came across lots of people in a certain area, as luck had it my husband found a parking place a few steps away from a Carousel, so out I popped to take a video and some photos of this area.

Video goes for 10 seconds.

Bathurst was established in 1815 with the discovery of gold.

The above photo is the Court House opened in 1880.

Stayed in Bathurst for a couple of nights in the Caravan Park which there are not many at all.
It had been -10degC for two mornings and the hard frost broke 20 water pipes in the caravan park according to the Receptionist.  Thanks goodness it was not that cold when we stayed.  Never can I recall being in -10degC.

The Dunny, not sure if it's workable, it's situated outside at the side of the Office of the Caravan Park.

Bathurst is situated about 200 klms North West of Sydney. Bathurst is the oldest inland settlement in Australia.  The city is often referred to as the Gold Country as it was the site of the first gold discovery and where the first gold rush occurred in Australia.
These days the internationally known racetrack Mount Panorama is a landmark of the city where V8 Supercars are raced there in the Bathurst 1000 being 1,000klm.

The public can drive around the racing circuit at the legal speed limit which we did.

Pit stop is the pinkish entrance on the left.

The above photo speaks for it's self.

Below is part of the view at the top of the mountain, and of course the phone rang :)

One of the corners at the top of the mountain.

The Sandpit as I call it for the racing cars.

The late Peter Brock is called the King of the Mountain because he conquered the mountain with a Win 9 times.
