2022-10 Overnighter to Windsor and Richmond
This was our Spring Overnighter for 2022.We visited Hunter Valley Gardens for morning tea at A Taste of Country, then travelled the Putty Road to Windsor where we had lunch at Windsor RSL . Here we also visited the Hawkesbury Museum and then drove to Richmond staying at the Colonial Motel with dinner at RG McGee's Hotel. Breakfast was at the Bank Emporium Cafe and Bar. We travelled to Wiseman’s Ferry along the Hawkesbury River through Wilberforce and Sackville. This was a fabulous drive. After lunch we continued our drive through Spencer, Central Mangrove, Kulnera, Laguna and Wollombi. A total of 460 kilometres of winding country road was completed with no motorways in sight.

Garry and Sue with their collectable Holden Torana taking a break in Wollombi on our trip home.
Gemma and John with their newly acquired historic (with air conditioning) at Wollombi. John has christened the Sigma, "The Stig".
Debra with John and his VE Holden Commodore in Wollombi on the last stop on our Overnighter.
Mary and Dave with their fabulous Jaguar Mark II in Wollombi. Their car, and the Ian's Rover, led the 'procession' on most of the roads on our overnighter.
The photographer and the protographed! Ian is usually the club photographer, and as a result often misses inclusion in albums. A 'selfie' solves that problem as his Rover rests in Wollombi.

Ian and Dave change places at breakfast in Richmond so photographer Ian is included in the breakfast photograph.
Dave and Mary's classic British tourer, a Jaguar Mark II, waiting for the Sackville Ferry.
On the Sackville Ferry, Ian opens the Rover sunroof, stands on the front seats, and takes a photo of our 'overnighters' - Noel and Bronwyn's Holden Commodore, Garry and Sue's Holden Torana, Dave and Mary's Jaguar Mark II and Neil's Volkswagon Synchro.
An interesting photo as lunch at Wisemans Tavern in Wisemans Ferry. Bronwyn and Gemma appear to be praying (with their eyes closed) and Debra appears to be winking at the phtotgrapher.
