off to OZ - day 7

Monday, 29th oct 2012 - After a long fine breakfast with 3-l-honeypot and vegemite (hmpf... very special spread) an almost last view around - the whitegrey is no morning-fog but bushfire-smoke from "just around the corner" (what an aussie calls 'around the corner' - lots of kilometers away. Probably. Hopefully.)

And there we go again. We would have liked to stay longer but 14 days for New South Wales really is a short time, so with a little heartache (but several tips) we drive on and are looking forward to the next surprises. "Waterfall Way" - sounds very well, hopefully we'll find waterfalls there.

We pass some swedish-looking grasslands and fields with little rocks (hey, archipelagoes?) and finally I manage to take a picture of a complete truck. [Thanks mates, for driving slowly...] And no, we did not see a real roadtrain. I guess they will only be found in the outback.

We drive through the plains with grass, rocks, gum-trees, cattles, sheep, grass, rocks, gum-trees ... until it's getting greener and higher. We reach Armidale (pls. look in the gallery - soooooo good looking houses with art nouveaux and/or victorian style... I became a little jealous.)

At the tourist-info very friendly women are talking very slow for us and we get a little citymap. On foot we explore the inner city. As it is not thaaaat big this takes us two hours. We notice a christmas-shop - this seems somehow weird to us. But hey, only 7 weeks until Christmas... Totally forgotten. We find a little shopping mall, buy some food and head for the campsite. We think. We do not find it. Fortunately Armidale has another one and about 2 hours later we reach our doss.
