Driving to Potato Point




We picked Paul up at about noon on Christmas Eve and drove all day to get to Potato Point (near Bateman’s Bay). We drove for 7 hours on roads that were incredibly curvy and, at times, barely paved. We drove directly through Kosciusko National Park, which is directly east of Albury, and stands between Albury and the coast. We drove over some mountains that were over 4,000 feet.

When we stopped in a rugged little aussie mtn town, Dylan put on his hat and said that they would probably mistake him for a cowboy. Paul quickly said, “mate, nobody here is confusing you for a cowboy.”

7 hours! I checked out your likely route on the map and can't believe it took that long. I'm glad you posted some photos of the road so that I now understand why calculating driving time from the Australia map is not accurate. love, Mom/R

G'day aussie new-bees,
I love this blog thing, it is cool to be able to hear all your new stories. I just called Pam to say Happy Holidays and she seems to be doing very well. Everything up in Bham is going well, still livin on the lake, working at Avocet (though applying for other jobs), and Kris and I are having a blast together and going strong. Can't wait to hear more and I am so happy for you two that everything is going well. Happy Anniversary and Happy New Year! xoxo, Bri
