Ride to The Australian Botanic Garden, Mt Annan
« on: April 28, 2014, 10:09:02 AM »
Mother Terese and I went for an A1 ride to The Australian Botanic Garden, Mt Annan, Campbelltown yesterday. I think many members in the RTE vacinity would really enjoy this place.











This was our first ride together for a long while and we enjoyed the day and just escaped the Sydney rain.
Wyvern was a happy chappy and gladly flew us to our fantasy land.





There's a nice cafe there with 1st class coffee - a little more expensive than a pie shop but we've been there twice now and were happy.





Wyvern is such a good dragon - even took photos thanks to a magic spell from my friend Merlin the wizard.





Look at the sign - this Mother IS "Big and Tough" (would have to be to live with me).





We went home via Camden and Douglas Park because my GPS took us thru some excellent country. Some tight turns thru the valleys and the scenery was so good. Back to the Gong on Picton Rd. Mother Terese said she was cold at times and a little afraid when I accelerated too fast and I said sorry but I thought I was being conservative. That's what happens when you ride a Ferrari!

Mt Annan is definitely a nice place to visit.  Just allow plenty of time to have a good look around.  An RTE in a nice time of the year would be good.
