Loni took Bill and I to LAX on Sat. evening and it was raining.
We landed in Sydney in drizzly rain. Customs moved along, but after
Picking up our luggage the line to exit was long but moved quickly. It seems many flights come in at the same time. We rented our car, but another huge line of cars were all leaving at the same time and there was a truck stuck in the tunnel. We decided to get something to drink before joining those on the road. Bill has driven in Australia before, but it still takes a bit for everything to come back. He did well and we got onto M5 heading for Kerang to visit our friends the Scrivens. The sky cleared to sunshine and billowy clouds.
Wayne had suggested we stop in Berrima for lunch at the oldest inn in Australia that had been in continuous operation. We left Hume highway for the old Hume highway at Mittagong and got some travel info and on to Berrima. These are very picturesque little towns with shops, homes and fields of cows and mainly sheep. The terrain is much like driving in Central California's rolling hills with trees similar to live oaks.
After lunch at The Souvreign we headed for Gundagi where we spent the night in another quaint little town in a comfortable motel.
