I'm an Aussie in Canada at the moment and I love seeing bits of home (even though home is actually the West side, but it still looks more home than here!) That whole drive sounds like something to do one day, maybe starting at the top and down and around to Adelaide and maybe even across! Have a fantastic time with your sister and family.

What a lovely road trip you've had !<br />As Barbara said, "sisters..." it's the best feeling to be with one another. Mine is half the world away, and thanks God for Skype, we have our laughs on internet now. I don't know where I would be without her. I am here in my sofa, imagining the totally loveling evening you are spending with each other, what a warm feeling !<br />I am so looking forward to meeting you on Sunday,<br />CorinneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-82645276615533823452013-05-31T21:26:21.203+10:002013-05-31T21:26:21.203+10:00Love a solo road trip - so good for clearing the m...Love a solo road trip - so good for clearing the mind, almost meditative. And nothing like a good ol' sing-a-long in the car!<br />We have towns with a lot of closing down/for sale signs in nthn nsw. I think the past couple of years has really battered some of the smaller towns. Murwillumbah is one that comes to mind, lots of empty shops, but there are many others. Hard times for many with so many natural disasters to contend with as well.<br /><br />From what I've heard since being back at work though, things are starting to pick up for business in our town. <br /><br />Have a wonderful time with your sister in the mountains , Rhonda. Would be chilly there now . Enjoy that fire :)<br />x<br />Megan Megan.K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03264440929071046671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-35950367785529668232013-05-31T19:29:41.042+10:002013-05-31T19:29:41.042+10:00I love that trip down the New England highway!

I lived in the Blue Mountains for 12 years but that was almost 30 years ago now and I've not seen Megalong since then.

I so enjoy seeing your pictures of Australia as I will most likely never see it in person but I think that if I were to ever decide to take a really long plane trip it would be to Australia. (Over 10,000 miles from New Hampshire to Australia and 22 hours by plane.)

My husband flips whenever I say im going home (bush) on my own. Its not like I haven't done the trip a hundred times and if he were with me, I would still be driving. I love going on trips by myself and I would especially love to do your route. Saw it once in a big rush and would love to have taken my time to stop at all those little town and admire the scenery.
