We headed out toward the hill country today through the Granite Belt. It's pretty countryside with rolling hills, meadows with cattle and sheep, big white puffy clouds and small towns, some so small you don't even have to slow down as you pass through.
We went up the Bald Rock National Park and hiked up to Bald Rock -- It was totally cool and really beautiful, Not as hot as in Brisbane, but plenty warm and not a lot of shade. We took the long way up that was not as steep, but took the steep route back down.
On our ghost walk the other night the guide said he thought Australia was in some ways like America's little brother. I think he's rather correct. There's McDonald's, KMark, Target, Starbucks, Century 21, ReMax, KFC, izzler, Ford and lots of other US companies. This is not the most "foreign" trip we've taken. We're having a good time, but this is a lot like the US in many ways. There are distinctly Australian things, too but US culture is extremely evident here.
We are cutting back toward the coast tomorrow aiming for Port Macquarie. Not sure what we'll find along the way.
