Gee it does not take much to get out of routine and for that matter I did not realise that I actually had a real routine.

After a short waok around the greyhound track facility and the usual shower, breakfast and chores I headed off. First call was Woolies Gosford for some shopping and the problem there was parking. It took absolute ages and after I had given up and was leaving town I found one some distance from the shop. Anyway did that and drove off towards Maitland, to my surprise I was still on a freeway about one hundred kilometres from Sydney. I guess that is what we mean by big cities.

On arrival in Maitland I looked for and could not find the tourist information centre any where near the signs telling me where to go. Then as I was leaving for the next port of call I discovered the information centre and the proper city centre, where I had been was only East Maitland. It turned out to be quite a decent size town with lots of nice buildings which of course led me to do the usual. I also visited the water works which have a bit of history and they and their grounds are being turned into a heritage & recreation area.

Then on to the town of Branxton where I am currently camped on the town oval.
