Up and Over the Countryside

We were called to help some family members tow their caravan from Bendeela reserve campground (45mins away, near Kangaroo Valley, NSW on the South Coast of Australia) to home as their breaks weren't up to it and lucky for them the trusty 4x4 was ready and willing as were we (my husband and I) always right to go for a nice drive! We headed off early and I didn't get many photos as I always love morning drives due to the colours being amazing! The photos I did capture were taken from the moving 4x4 as we were towing on the way back so there is often some movement in them.

To begin with when we were getting ready to set off Jasper the puppy (who is actually just over 6 years old) was being very cute and warranted a few photos! Although he does always seem to know when the camera is going to go off and he moves! I think he may be a little camera shy!

At the top of Macquarie Pass we waited for a large coach to pass a few bends called the "hairpins" these are particularly bad corners for large vehicles, and small for that matter! Rather notorious! We were lucky enough to have installed a CB radio a few months ago and it comes in very handy when towing up and down Macquarie Pass to know when to wait a minute so as to not get caught with trucks or other large vehicles around these bends or tight passages! Its helped on several occasions on Macquarie Pass alone!

Coming down Macquarie Pass, the one image that turned out...kinda

And at the bottom of the pass...

Then off home to clean... and post this... and now play a video game :D
