Katoomba!

20/4/2013

The Three Sisters in fog and drizzle
Katoomba! I'm back! At it's been pouring with rain (that funny wet stuff that falls from the sky). Thanks to track-work on the Airport Line, the trains were out, so it was a queue (in torrential rain) for the not-enough buses that were taking passengers to Central Station. Thankfully I made it, and THANK YOU to the unnamed gentleman who helped me with my case! I love chivalry.

Even in the rain, the train trip is beautiful (and train = editing novel), especially the climb through Glenwood and across the top of the escarpment. Fog greeted me at Katoomba, and so did Jenny from Shelton-Lea (my favourite B&B in Lurline Street). The temperature reached an astonishing 9C here today; 6C with wind chill (felt like 3C).

It was too miserable for hiking (too hard to dry shoes etc) so I had a relaxing walk up to the new Coles (!! built in six months!) and the new Cultural Centre between Coles and the Carrington Hotel). THAT is stunning!

Birds: sulphurs, pied currawongs, indian mynah (grrr), spoggies...i.e. not much! Hopefully more tomorrow.

And the rain lifted enough so I could walk/run down to Echo Point - so different under heavy cloud.

Happy writing and bushwalking
Bo

    Author - Bo Henley

    I have two writing passions - crime fiction...and thrillers with a slight twist. Of course, if I tell you what the twists are, I'd have to kill you (see: The Crime Novels). There are rumours that I also write non-fiction with a science flavour, but I deny everything  (No, I don't. See: About Bo). And when I'm not writing, I LOVE reading (see: Bo is Reading).
