Welcome to My Blog

This is a blog of my trip around Australia by motorbike. I'll endeavour to keep this updated on a regular basis, but there will be days when I'll have no access to the web. So follow my progress, see some pictures and hopefully share my adventure.

Day 85 – Fri, 22 Oct to Stanwell Tops

I hung with my grandchildren, drove them to school and had coffee with Wade before heading off mid morning from Canberra. After yesterday’s adventure I was taking it easy, straight up the Federal and Hume Hwy, onto Picton Road and then N up the F6 to Helensburgh turnoff for Stanwell Tops.

My eldest son Glenn and Pip and there lot of Trea, Maisie & Oscar were expecting me. Robyn was also driving down to spend the night. It was going to be a celebration, not only my return but also Glenn completing his last exam for his part time degree today. Study for the year is over and you could see it on his face.

As I left the Hume turning onto Picton Road it was in the low 30C but I could see rain ahead. I road through some heavy rain towards the end of Picton Rd and on the F6, but it cleared. However, as I pulled into Glenn’s driveway and carport the heavens opened and it hailed. What timing.

Robyn & Glenn were there to greet me and the kids arrived home shortly after from school. With Pip arriving it was time to celebrate, which we did with gusto. As I said, terrific to be with family again.
