Mother and sister are born Kiwis and I'm a 3rd cousin to Russell Crowe apparently.

Yeah, drove out Hay way, 4 days ago. I agree with the lands around Jerildirie as well. Kinda strange being out this way. The night sky is impressive as is driving past kangaroos that jump out of ditches like ninjas in tall grass.

Well then Jalane, you and I should 'get on' real well in a paddock somewhere.

and re
the dead straight roads, the mirages, and those Roos! imagine it in the early '80s? when I lived on the Murray.
EXCITING! especially if you did as we did, a lot of night driving! Out there the GT 'd sit on 100 mph --- so tough luck roos. Oh yeah and during the day , you'd take out a cyclone of Galahs.
But we were fortunate. Never hit a ROO, not once.!! Never got clocked either. Well not down there anyway Wink

Yeah I do about 160km upon the back roads sometimes. Though I did get booked doing 70 in a 60km zone Roll Eyes

I can imagine the roos back then, as everyone here has told me. Quite prolific and bigger.

As for your age. Oh that's ok Jalane - might be fun trying Wink

And yes, I live alone too (now) ...and loving it.

Used to live with a guy who owned a GT decades back in Quakers Hill. Scary ride indeed!

this is true. Wink

could be.

You sound like a bit of a laugh &

JUST check out the #351 of my post on the GT.!!!
synchronicity or what??

see I get lots of 'stuff' like this in my life-- truly incredible 'coincidences'.
Tho this IS less incredible than some.

I've since made more than halfdoz drives to the Murray and back, in the late 90's to mid 2000's to see my aged Mum. ( and thats not counting the flights in, or the train in, or the BUS.)

Had an original old Fairlane- the white beauty. ...... build 1989. Since maintained well by me when I got her in 96. The most comfortable car I have driven, the longest distances, and reliable. ALWAYS took at least one or two dogs, plenty of room, and am glad I did. Every trip like that was EPIC. But only me and the mutts got to see it. SIGH!!

UH OH except for one trip.!!! (hmmm well actually two... but that was a guy who thought he'd spotted a gift. Thats another story!!!).

I love to tell this. Hope I'm not boring you.!!

Was, I think my last DRIVE, down there.
Now, on previous drives, I'd tried just about every route except the Newell. Totally f'n boring, -yep seen heaps of central western NSW!!! SO anyhow, this time I needed to pitch a tent in a Caravan Park on the Murray, that took dogs, when I got there, so I figured I'd do the Newell!

I'd usually leave SEQ, when ever I could get away, and usually managed to stop at a lovely old house in Gilgandra for the night,(B&B) continuing on the next morning, getting to the Murray late arvo. So I was hot to trot next morning.

BUT the TRUCKS Good grief...I'd have to do 140 k's just to get past.!!! And cos the dog got hot, easy, that a.m I stopped near those huge installations south of Gilgandra. Cooled him off- took some pics, and off again.

Consequently I found myself having to overtake the same trucks, quite often. The same thing had occurred the previous day, and I recognised heaps of them.

So, cruisin' along as fast as I thought I could get away with, i saw a highway patrol car going the other way. OH OH.

Shortly there after, there he was lights flashing, pulling me over. Roll Eyes

NOW GET THIS !! HE was furious with me!! Made me exit the car, and said what are you doing!!! NEVER IN MY YRS DRIVING HIGHWAY PATROL have I EVER had a truck-driver CALL UP AND COMPLAIN ABOUT A CAR DRIVER !!! before today.!! He put me on the bag, etc etc... I did my thing, (ie explained my situation)... and in the end he sent me on my way with a caution to make sure I got there SAFELY.!!!

And i DID!! Smiley

and a little further down the road - I spotted the driver I reckoned did the dirty, pulled over and lounging with his feet up. As I drove past I blasted MY HORN and gave him the finger. !!

And did the same to all the trucks I followed until I got there. !!!
Totally maniacal.... totally an experience.!!! Grin

Lol

Not bad. I like it. I've only ever had one bad 'truck' experience going from Kiama all the way up Mt Ousley towards Appin. Damn truckie had something personal about my driving and basically chased me the entire way. Fingers, horn blowing, swerving.
Other than that, out here along the Sturt or Newell, I do the odd 'en passe' (hop in the right lane and fall back) for the Truckies.

Sounds like you do a lot of loooooooooooong drives like myself. Think we would get on real well in a car together. Wink

Oh, and enjoy the music along the way.

So what was your gift? Played the accoustic?

Don't have a big Fairlane anymore tho. always enjoy the music tho. My gift?.... not.... he got nothing but a hard stare, a large maglite held aloft, and a 60 kg Rotty/Neo-Mastiff cross waiting for him to get out of his car.!! He looked around - and decided to get out of there. Lucky for HIM.

Lol. As would we all Shocked

Yeah, driving's a real part of my life. My cars are never flash, but I can do the long distance real well with the odd 20min snooze which mostly happens upon the very 'straight' dull roads. Driving around New Zealand is a different ball-game though.
Hell, the last time I did was in the back of my car back in August. Sheesh - its been that long Roll Eyes

you're complaining???

I have been back to NZ..... drove the old dears around the nth is. LOVE MOUNTAINS!!!

Thats my fave drive.

Any Mts.

Actually driving the Border Ranges - NSW/QLD - is a good one.
As is an old road over the Liverpool Range. Did that one heading Sth. Dirt, gravel, cows, grates, steep tight bends. Kiss

Amazing panorama from the top .looking at a quilt of colours looking Sth.

... some neat stuff in this big arse place, thats for sure.!!

Yep. Love Mountains. Love the NZ ones and I've even been to the Himalaya to do some trekkin'. Awesome stuff.
Don't mind 'those' mountain/hill roads of steeply bends and turns, but I freaked going up to an observatory near the Mt Cook run, in a Campervan while it was covered in snow. Real tight stuff. Shocked

Won't do that again.

Haven't done many Australian mountain roads besides the Blue Mountains near Sydney and a few over northern NSW.

My favourite NZ drive was the "Forgotten Highway" that passed the Republic of Whangamoamona. Real prehistoric stuff.

Prior to my driving the old dears around, Back in the late 90's I have never driven in NZ. Was too young to drive when I was brought to OZ by the old dears. So have only done a bit of cruising around the Bay of Plenty for a few days. My birth place. S'pose that's something.
