the best group of girls...........it's the last Bathurst Blog Meet i'll organise..........I may not be able to attend in the future due to family commitments so thanks girls for the wonderful times..........6 years of fun starting off as lunch meets turned onto weekend retreats.........bit sad to think I met them only due to blogging and some friendships may be lost as some of the girls don't blog any more........for me in my isolated part of the world it's how I have connected...........

Getting home was even more interesting then getting out.........

Spent a night in a motel then a couple of nights at a girlfriends while I stayed in town for work.........these are my waterfront views while I was there the river was pretty full............

finally I headed home a week after I left and the roads were no better probably worse and still wet (more rain).........

this looks better then it is but I was stuck.......tracks  to deep for my vehicle...........

don't step out it was slosh and mess........I had my fancy town work shoes on not work boots or better still gum boots............

Got pulled out of this and got going again only to get stuck again............then I got dragged a long way.............

everything is so wet now we only need to few mls and the roads are impassable for me now.............

you just don't bother going anywhere except essential trips as it is such a mess............and I have 3 roads I could travel out from here and this is the best of the worst..............I'm not over the rain but I am over the roads.........and it will probably be months before the shire does anything about it..........

Boy Wonder caught a Scared Kingfisher on the verendah to release back outside........he sure got hold of his finger...........

Oh and 10.......interesting what things you are suggesting.......hang around the secret will be revealed soon..........

Catch you later............
