Today was a fine day. The plan is to get to the train station then head north to Armidale.
Another couple in a caravan arrived and they offered to give me a lift. I accepted. I could also get the school bus out of Gundy at 7.50am at the shelter in front of the store. I didn't find out how much they charge.

Aberdeen Road |
The road to Aberdeen flows through more horse studs and I didn't miss walking that way. Scone is closer and the train is scheduled to stop. I went up to the train station and the information centre only to be informed train tickets are bought at the community centre/ library at the other end of town.
I got a good tour of Scone (pronounced Sc-own) I still eat Scones as in Scons. The train was 5 minutes late and $41 to Armidale. I sit for four hours watching the countryside pass as I head north again.

Road to Aberdeen |
Mushgang has agreed to come down and pick me up from Armidale. I don't mind another visit as we had a good time last time. Hope he doesn't pass fresh road kill on the way down.
There is a connecting bus to Tenterfield but Mushgang is keen for a drive in the country and look at some things north.
He picks me up and we head back into the hills where the clouds are covering the countryside. A dinner at the Ebor pub and we settle in for a catch up chinwag.
Thanks once again Mushgang.
