It was another cool and very windy night. I commented to Enid that the wind howling around the motorhome sounded like a prairie winter storm. It wasn’t that cold of course, but it was very cloudy and cool when we left Katoomba.
We drove south to Canberra, and there was a very strong wind all day. It was mostly a cross wind so it blew the motorhome around. At about noon we had another torrential downpour from a thunderstorm. The road is very good, the best highway we’ve been on for the entire trip. It’s a four lane or better road all the way once you reach the first motorway at Penrith on the way into Sydney. Along the way there was a large mostly dry lake (Lake George). On the east side ridge of the lake are a large number of wind turbines. They would have been generating a lot of electricity today.
We got to Peter and Margot’s in mid-afternoon, and took the opportunity to defrost our refrigerator. It needed it as the freezer compartment was heavily coated with frost. We are going out for Christmas supper with the Kindrachuk family tonight.
