Motorlife museum

 Sunday 20th July 2014

Starting off at McDonalds at Padstow under a cloudy morning we made our way to Stanwell Tops via Waterfall. The drive itself was uneventful, just a pleasant drive along some great winding  roads. There were quite a lot of cyclists riding along the road but at least they were going in the opposite direction.

By the time we reached Stanwell Tops we felt that we should have stayed in our cars. The scenery was fantastic but the wind just seemed to howl through which made it quite cold. It must have been  very cold as Kylie Hayward wrapped her face in her scarf with only small slits for her eyes to see. We then made our way down the mountain and along the coast with Pete and Daniel joining us from near Wollongong. Unfortunately, as we got near the freeway, Darren and Kylie lost their way. Jurgen and Robyne pulled over to help guide them by mobile but ended losing sight of the rest of the field and became lost themselves. They finally found their way and were the last to arrive at the Car Museum.

We all finally made our way into the Museum and marvelled at the selection of old cars, caravans, bikes and a lot of other bygone items that you never see anymore. Pretty fascinating stuff and was enjoyed by all. After a photoshoot at the Museum we made our way to the local pub for lunch and refreshments. As pub food goes the food was excellent. After a lot of socialising we then headed to our cars for the trip home. Overall, an enjoyable day was had by all.
