Driving to Millthorpe

On the weekend I drove out to Millthorpe which is near Orange for cousin Robyn and Bill's wedding. I was by myself because Meeks was staying home with Mitch. As a result I made a few stops and took some photos that I might not otherwise have been able to make.
Firstly there was the Mt White lookout, looking out over the Megalong Valley

Next was a random farmstead on the road between Lithgow and Bathurst

Then it was up to the top of Mt Panorama at Bathurst. It such a weird experience to be able to just drive your normal car around the race track and stop and take photos along the way. The speed limit is a strictly enforced 60km/h even on the main straights where it feels slow, but on sections like the dipper, 60km/h feels quite quick. It must take some serious guts to do it at racing speed. Sitting in the car the track dips and twists and actually disappears from view as it goes down the hill.

As I was approaching Orange (where I was staying) the weather started to close in and shortly after this it started pouring. The rain didn't look good for the wedding, but that is a story for another post.

On the way home on Sunday I stopped at almost the same place and took this one.
