We took Rufus out on a weekend road trip. Five hours out of Sydney and into the country music capital of Australia, that’s right. the hot and fly-blown town of Tamworth. It was getting a little late when we arrived but we found a tacky old caravan park that would let us keep the dog inside our lino-floored cabin.
An example of one of the accommodation options at the City Lights Caravan Park.
Op-shopping was best in the town of Cessnock and I picked up an excellent brooch, shaped as a Weiner dog, a hand-knitted peluche for Rufus and a portable Travel Scrabble. Eating out was generally dreary but we had excellent noodles on Peel Street. The left-overs are congealing in the boot as I type, there was a hope that we could have them for dinner tonight but I’m not sure they would have survived the five hours on the road in their paper take-away containers.
I watched Deathproof in a near-empty cinema in town last night. An extremely enjoyable film, particularly in a country town like Tamworth.
