 David Cotton allocated passengers to the cars on the Thursday night of Easter and at 8.30 Julie, David and 1, fastened our seatbelts and "flew", breaking all speed records to Gulgong, north of Mudgee.
-Our drive was a gay one, David kept up a. constant patter of his quick wit e.g. "There are two rings in marriage, the wedding ring and the suffe_-ring__." "I hope you can put up with my driving, still it's not as bad for you as for me, you only have to put up with it for the weekend, I have to put up with it all the time!"

 We flashed through Gulgong at 1.00 a.m. It is a quaint little town which resembles something out of a history book, very early Australian history. I would have liked time to study the buildings in the main street at my leisure.

 Many people have not heard of the Warrumbungle National Park, though I don't know why, for its 15,400 acres contain some magnificent scenery and a collection of extinct volcanoes. The ancient volcanic remains that make up part of the park are quite impressive. The mountains have very strange rock formations and great spires. The scenery is really beautiful and there is something for everyone, whether they be sightseers, bushwalkers, rock-climbers or photographers. In addition, the park is a sanctuary and there are numerous birds to be seen, as well as kangaroos, wallabies, foxes and wild pigs if you walk around at dusk.
