However after some stern instructions from President Nige about following local customs and respecting the native wildlife all Niges except for Nige behaved beautifully. The Castlereagh Hotel provided good rooms and a hot breakfast for only $50 so that was good. I thought their roast dinners were a bit teensy weensy but Ant had the foresight to upsize his which brought some concern from the kitchen staff and a bit of a delay in the delivery. In fact Ant&#8217;s meal arrived about the same time ours was venting like the woodwind section of an Andre Rieu orchestra.<br \/>\nAnyhoo after a good night&#8217;s sleep by some we left early next morning for a quick ride round central NSW highlighted by a visit to the Parke&#8217;s radio telescope. Although we gave Nige a bit of grief about the visit we found it worthwhile and supports that whole thing about how boys like their toys.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_4859\" style=\"width: 430px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nige.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/mad-max2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4859\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-4859\" title=\"ToeCutter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.nige.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/mad-max2-420x173.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"420\" height=\"173\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.nige.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/mad-max2-420x173.jpg 420w, http:\/\/www.nige.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/mad-max2.jpg 627w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 420px) 100vw, 420px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-4859\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Lucky (Toecutter) watching the Ninja disappear on the road to Yeoval.<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_4839\" style=\"width: 430px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nige.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/030.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4839\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-4839\" src=\"http:\/\/www.nige.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/030-420x313.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"420\" height=\"313\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.nige.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/030-420x313.jpg 420w, http:\/\/www.nige.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/030-1024x764.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 420px) 100vw, 420px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-4839\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Blaxland, Lawson and Wentworth<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_4840\" style=\"width: 430px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nige.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/027.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4840\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-4840\" src=\"http:\/\/www.nige.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/027-420x313.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"420\" height=\"313\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.nige.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/027-420x313.jpg 420w, http:\/\/www.nige.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/027-1024x764.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 420px) 100vw, 420px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-4840\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Did you see me on my muscle bike Nige..did ya?<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_4841\" style=\"width: 430px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nige.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/0261.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4841\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-4841\" src=\"http:\/\/www.nige.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/0261-420x313.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"420\" height=\"313\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.nige.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/0261-420x313.jpg 420w, http:\/\/www.nige.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/0261-1024x764.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 420px) 100vw, 420px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-4841\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A handsome man spotted in Mudgee<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_4842\" style=\"width: 430px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nige.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/024.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4842\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-4842\" src=\"http:\/\/www.nige.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/024-420x313.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"420\" height=\"313\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.nige.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/024-420x313.jpg 420w, http:\/\/www.nige.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/024-1024x764.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 420px) 100vw, 420px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-4842\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">One of about three hundred stops for wees and such<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_4843\" style=\"width: 430px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nige.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/034.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4843\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-4843\" src=\"http:\/\/www.nige.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/034-420x315.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.nige.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/034-420x315.jpg 420w, http:\/\/www.nige.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/034.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 420px) 100vw, 420px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-4843\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Two handsome men somewhere near Kulnura<\/p><\/div>\n<p>A good ride home over dry roads and blue skies.
