From Nambucca to Sydney!!

This is the second part of our trip to Sydney. You might have missed part one. It was the BEST part.  Mum had trouble posting it and I don't know if you got to see it but you can find it HERE if you wanna look at it. 
When we left Nambucca it wasn't long before we were at our destination for the night ... Kempsie.  We usually stay at Nambucca but there was some big sports thing happening and all of the accommodation was booked out. We found a dog friendly Motel right on the banks of the Macleay River. It was pretty nice too.  The river is beautiful and we went and sat and looked at it for quite some time.

Looking North!!  Where we came from.

Looking South!!  Where we're going.

When it started getting dark we headed back to our balcony where Mum had her usual cuppa and Dad his usual beer. I, as usual got NOTHING!!!  Fair dinkum ..... what's with that??  It's not as if I'm a nobody!!  I could go a drop of beer after a long day's drive. Fair dinkum ..... even a cuppa'd be alright.  I did get a bowl of water. Water ..... for goodness sake!!  We were sitting there for a while when we noticed all these things flying around overhead. The sky was alive with them. Flying foxes!!  WOW!!  They fly over our house at Noosa every night. Hundreds of them ...... BUT ..... you should have seen them at Kempsie.  There must have been 87 million. They just kept on coming and the whole sky was full of them. Crikey it was good to see. We watch them most nights at home but we've never seen so many before. They're very cute little critters.  Some people don't like 'em but we do.  They cause havoc for the poor farmers so I understand why they don't like 'em but other peeps just don't like 'em for no reason at all.

Ok so it's not a very good picture but maybe if you biggefy it you'll be able to see all the flying foxes. That white spot is the moon.

They are grey headed flying foxes and are native to Australia. I pinched this picture from google.

Once the bats left so did we.  We went to the local Thai restaurant for dinner.  Of course I got NONE!!  I did get to sit with Mum and Dad but they have this rule that I am not to be fed at the table ..... EVER!!!!!!!!  Crikey I HATE that rule.  I did get to eat before we went so I wasn't hungry ... BUT ... it sure smelled good. After that it was off to bed and the next day we got up early to head to Sydney.  Once Dad is on that final leg there's no stopping him so it was a pretty dull and uneventful last 4 and a half or so hours.  We did stop at a park for me to have a run around but we didn't stop long. We have to stay in Sydney for a few days for Mum to see her eye Doc but then we are off to our beloved Blue Mountains for a few weeks before we have to return to Sydney for Mum's eye operation.  I'll tell you all about the Blue mountains visit next. We've been there before and stayed at the same house. It's real good and I have mates at Katoomba and there's a cat that comes and visits. Her lives next door to the house. He only comes once though!!  I wonder why??

Wanna run ... Love, Charlie.
