We made the annual winter pilgrimage to Sydney yesterday. It was the maiden long distance voyage for the new car as well. That 2.2L turbo diesel just purred up the Hume Hwy, rarely getting past 2,100rpm. With more legroom throughout, it was more comfortable all round. And with more space, and being careful with what we packed, we just attached the bike rack and left the trailer at home! It looks like 70 litres will get us about 900km. Not bad for a bus!
Today we had breakfast at Merrylands bowling club and then spent the day at medieval winterfest at Parramatta Park. There are some interesting characters in those communities. Suits of armour and chain mail all round.
Well it's back to Melbourne tomorrow for me. Early start to get on that big steel bird.
