The Austrom meet-up has come to an end, but MrAusAdventure and I now have 4 days to find adventures on the way home, and maybe feed the Bromance Rumour Mill just a little.
We leave Gulgong and make our way to a couple of dirt roads that I found on maps looking likely to be a good ride - I wasn't wrong, but several hundred Kangaroos and Wallabies also thought it was a great place to be!!
