We turned right on another &#8216;sealed&#8217; road and eventually ended up at the Sackville Ferry. Some really nice country and roads around here. Off the ferry and down the road to eventually end up at Windsor for more food and a break.<br \/>\nTossed up as to which way to head home but decided against traffic on Old Windsor Road etc: or heading up towards Singleton and headed back towards Wiseman&#8217;s Ferry (again). Great run back with a turn off and up Bumble Hill, through Yarramalong and Wyong and finally home with about 430k&#8217;s for the day.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_867\" style=\"width: 430px\"
