Day 145 Orange

---

Headed further west today to Orange with enough time spent at Bathurst to do 2 laps of the Mount Panorama motor racing circuit. It is 6.213 Km long and 870 metres above sea level at its highest point and 670 metres at its lowest. Unfortunately there is a speed limit of 60 Kph and we had the caravan attached but it was still great to go around. The track is on the side of the hill and there are houses, orchards and even a vineyard in the middle.
Was cool at the Blue Mountains so we are now feeling the heat at 31deg.
