Day 13: 1/4/2019: Cowra to Canberra


Day 13


We were rudely awoken by the alarm at 7.25 am and I fumbled about to find the snooze button.  The morning was sunny but crisp. We went across the road to the services club for breakfast and as today was a special date.......1st April.  Dale copied an article from the Red Triangle website which detailed a new Alvis that was to be released.  We scattered a couple of the leaflets about and several people including Kay picked up on the April fools immediately but we did catch a couple of others.

Today's trip was not to far so we packed up at a leisurely pace leaving Cowra for the journey to Boorowa for morning tea.

Leaving Cowra the country is wide open and rambling.  It is perfect country for sheep, and they where scattered everywhere.

Mike and Pat in the 12/50 motoring on.

Bob and Lesley (12/50) with Alan and Noeline (12/50) in the distance.

Bob and Lesley getting closer!

And closer!

This is perfect touring country. Minimal traffic and gently sweeping roads.

We stopped at the most wonderful cafe in Boorowa. The weather continued to be sunny and just warm enough. 

Not sure if it took ten years to build, or it was a celebratory period??
From Boorowa it was another short drive that took us to Yass and our lunch stop.

From Yass we set off for our final stop in Canberra and our motel for the next 4 days.

Which way should we go??

We gathered for pre-dinner drinks by the pool and wait for new faces ...Ernest and Julia (Silver Eagle) to arrive.
