The Throttle Shop often has some pretty cool cars for sale, the type that probably sit in the collections of wealthy folks who don't take them out very often. I didn't realise that Zagatos were worth that much!
Thanks for all the great pics you've posted while you've been here, it's been one of my favourite threads. Best of luck to you when you head back to the UK, I hope everything goes well for you.
Cheers!

The shipping agents came yesterday and took our remaining belongings and then the Captiva went today. The Australian footprint 🇦🇺 👣 has almost gone. Mind you, if this weather doesn't improve I'll not be sad to leave!

They're all very beautiful and great examples of what a stunning country Britain is.

This was looking towards Litton and Peters Stone in Derbyshire this morning. Peters Stone was the location of the last gibbet in the UK where they hang someone and then put their body in a cage. Not my photo obviously.

Getting on a flight on Tuesday to the red centre. Couple of days at Ayers Rock then it's off to Alice Springs where we are picking up a 27ft motor home to drive to Melbourne via Adelaide. It's a relocation for the hire company so cheap for us but achieves a purpose for both parties.

I was staying in a hostel in Adelaide (a long long time ago) when a Japanese man joined us in the room and he explained he had cycled from Perth ! Took 3 weeks or something. He was very thin and brown ! James

He came and stayed with us in Sydney over the New Year for a week before heading down to Melbourne. Unfortunately due to the fires he had to bus it down to Melbourne in the end. He then popped over to NZ and did that before China Flu hit and he had to go back to the UK. Hoping to catch up with him on our return. He's myendlesssummer_theworldbybike on Insta. Really nice bloke.

So yesterday we decided to visit a few old haunts seeing as the weather was good. First up we got the bus over to Manly with a pitstop for a couple of beers and some snap. I got served the largest Parmi I’ve ever seen. Then it was the ferry over to Watsons Bay for a beer before heading on another ferry to Rose Bay and a beer in the RSL (Returned Services League bit like the British Legion) Last ferry ride saw us head to Circular Quay and another beer before heading back to the hotel for the NRL Grand Final. Orono.

Not too early a start saw us head off to the airport. After being raped by Jetstar for excess baggage charges we had a 3.5 hr flight to this spot. I was last here 20 odd years ago and I wasn't that impressed then. It is nice n warm though so that's good. The room wasn't ready so popped to the bar and thought grizz had beat me there. Going to try and get a decent sunset shot of the rock so catch you later folks. Ooroo.
