Day 5 – beer day

November 22nd, 2007

Why would you want to fly when you have beer? That seems to be the story for today. The day was cancelled due to a lot of rain last night which left the place waterlogged as the guys found out – apparently Trent and Dave’s comments were that the dam had to be conquered leaving the vehicle bogged.

So what better way to spend the rest of the day than at the pub. At 4.30pm when I spoke with Trent I sensed that they might have already been there for a couple of hours. There are plenty of wineries around in Mudgee but they didn’t get that far after finding a local pub to sip away on some nice local brewed beer. What a life!!

Early reports say that tomorrow might be 50/50 but Saturday looks good, and an attempt may be made on Sunday to fly home.
