Arrived in Gulgon early at the Ten Dollar Hotel and had a coffee. Christian was finishing off a work project and cussing about the wifi access … I went for a walk around the town, it’s a pretty place, full of old tat shops that make you want to slit your wrist … Went back and sat outside reading in the sun in a lovely little protected courtyard and then we went and bought some snacks and a bottle of red wine and had a lovely pre-dinner drink in the sun. Dinner was at the main Hotel, quite nice but getting over hotel food. Christian had a Thai beef salad that looked nice. Beddie-byes and an attempt at watching Netflix but the wifi was so bad that it kept stopping …. so just bed and heavenly sleep … Got up early to a yummy served bacon and eggs breakfast and left by nine, something of a record for us … although we are resolved to CHANGE OUR WAYS! Cycled approximately 50 km to Dunedoo. The ride was a total surprise and a delight. A long made road through very pretty farmland for about 15 km and then a dirt road through some of the prettiest countryside, full of Patterson’s Curse and Daisies, with pods of kangaroos and wallabies and a lot of screeching birds … I thought we’d strayed into an Aussie hen’s party at first … The road – well track – got a bit rough in places, due to recent very heavy flooding by the look of it but was passable. Stopped for a chorizo, chile-cheese and tomato taco which was just right and then set off again. I didn’t realise that we were only 15 km from our destination … Finally around 13 km from Dunedoo we joined a main road again but hardly any cars here either and very pleasant cycling, although we were both beginning to feel it by then. Arrived at the little AirBnB cabin at Dunnedo, had a shower and a bit of a rest while Christian finished some more work and then headed off into ‘town’ … it’s a quiet little spot, but pleasant enough. Did n’t stay there long, will go back for a beer later on and probably will go to the rumoured Chinese restaurant if we can find it tonight … Just about to have a bit of a nannanap now … a certain person is gently breathing … some might say gently snoring, but that would be ungentlemanly of me, not to say ‘churlish’ …
