Driving to Sydney

I love a good drive and could rabbit on for pages about my highlights, or weird things or just ways I amused myself but I have narrowed them all down.

• On my side of the road, I saw 11 L-plate drivers between home and about Mt White - and thought that that was quite a lot

• On the trip down and back I saw 6 Porsches and 1 Lamborghini

• I saw 4 flowers that I hadn't seen before - one was a smallish status-like plant that wasn't status; one was large cream bells on what big prickly looking things (please note I am using technical words to describe them); another was tall stands of cream puff-balls on top of a plant I never saw; and the last was a bright orange flower on a dark green tree. Yes I should have stopped an taken photos but I like driving past and trying to figure things out :-)

• When I was driving through the "canyons" just before Sydney the water was running down them in trails that looked like tears had been falling down their 'cheeks'.

• It rained from Newcastle south - but never consistently - I had to adjust my wipers virtually every minute (literally) to cater for rain that was so heavy I could barely see through to a light mist.

• Petrol prices at home are virtually the same as Sydney - and everywhere in the middle is more expensive.

• I never want to eat fast food again - blecch!

It was long and I was tired but I really enjoyed the trip :-)
