Thanks Peter, glad to hear you and Belthy can make it.
I am doing the recon run this weekend so I will try & get some more details about the tour, plus confirm where we will be having lunch in Mudgee.

Thanks Mark, now the roads to Hill end are sealed it will be a great drive.

The long term weather forecast is looking good as well with low chance of rain predicted

A reminder to those who are going on the cruise and staying at Hill End or even just visiting the town and heading off on Saturday.
Neale is asking if numbers of people interested in one or more of the available tours to let us know as soon as possible as bookings have to be made with the tour guide beforehand.
Thanks
Geoff

Sorry for the late response Debbie and I are overseas and we only have limited WIFI access.
We would be interested in the town tour as well, thanks

Thanks guys, I did a recon of the route last weekend.

All the roads are in pretty good condition a lot of the roads have recently been re sealed.

I have booked lunch for 10-15 people at the Lawson Park Hotel in Mudgee. I had lunch there & the food was really good & reasonably well priced.
You can check out the venue in this link

The scenery is looking great like the entrance to Hill End




I have spoken to the & the lady in the tourist information centre at Hill End & she has told me that they no longer run tours unless we can get 10 people for the tour. We currently have 9 so I will contact the people that organise something if we cant get 10.

As for Sunday, I have a cool surprise.

The NSW Hill Climb Championships are being held at Bathurst on the weekend & there will be some impressive cars racing including an Anglia & Garry Fords V8 mk1 Escort

So for those coming for the two days we will drop in to the race track & check out some of the action at the Mountain Straight hillclimb, & entry for spectators is free

the tour at Hill End has been booked.
It will start at 3pm and will take about 2 hours.


The tour guide is Sandra Thompson who is a 5th generation resident of Hill End & will be able give a unique history of the town.

Cost is $26 per adult or $19 if you have a blue concession card.
Payment will be made before the start of the tour & is cash only. Sandra has asked if we could bring the correct change to make things easier.

See you all tomorrow!

Another great event.
Thank you all who came along and enjoyed a nice drive through the
beautiful Central West.
Upon arrival in the quaint little and very historic village of Hill End we walked around with Sandra from National Parks & Wildlife Service and listened to her most interesting stories about the area's very interesting and at some times violent and tragic past.
The quest for gold attracted some remarkable people to the area all with their own stories to tell.
We were lucky to hear some of them.
Pictures of the event coming soon here and in the magazine.
