Lithgow

We are back at Lithgow after the wettest weekend possible. The dog trial was great, no UDX so I did Open while Kathy did UD, Novice and CCD. Some rain during the morning, followed by a downpour that left the ground flooded. Fortunately we had finished the trial apart from the Winner of Winners run off, which left Kathy out in the rain for ten minutes or so. The poor devils in the Agility Trial in the next paddock were running round ankle deep in water, but they kept going. We got back to the AVan to find it on a small island in the middle of the park. All of the others around us were under water. We were wet everywhere with water on the floor of the annex and our clothes sopping wet too.
Early Monday, like 7:30am we were packing up wet things and moving back to Lithgow so we could set up to dry out (and get a decent shower)

Now that the Golden trial is over we are tourists again. We had a tour of Lithgow and went on the Zig Zag railway which travels 7 kilometre to rise 750 metres up the mountain. Some spectacular views. The picture shows the thee viaducts for the track. The train goes over first viaduct on the left, round the side of the mountain then runs back over the other two viaducts.
All run by very enthusiastic volunteers that talk about trains forever.
Planning tomorrows touring tonight, probably the Jenolan Caves
