What a great part of the world that is, Sarg. I remember parking in the main street of Braidwood for the first time and being astonished at how wide the street was. And you're right about a pub with a fireplace... what a great excuse to have another beer.

Enjoy it all Sarg, Just pack the thermals,and a extra bottle of port and you will hot to trot. ..Some real nice country down in that neck of the woods.The best part about down that way is your not driving for hrs between seeing interesting places.

Yes, make sure you pack the thermals as it is already frosty down this way. -2C in Cooma last night. Forecasts tell us to expect another frost tonight. It's already got a nip in the air and while we haven't had a frost here yet they are certainly close. Take a hot water bottle as well.
