With the rain continuing for 24 hours and not looking like clearing, I checked the BoM website to see if the weather was any better further down the coast. The forecasts contained little except varying degrees of rain for the next week as far south as Lakes Entrance. But further West there was good weather predicted so I changed my plans and headed West.
The rain continued all the way to the Blue Mountains and in Lithgow the temperature was down to 13C. I was beginning to question my sanity at this point, but one of the signs of insanity is to continue with an action when common sense says to stop, so I kept going. Fortunately the rain eased off and the temperature rose as I continued on my way and by the time I reached Cowra I was starting to dry out again.
I stopped for the night in Grenfell - the birthplace of Henry Lawson. It's also the home of the annual Guinea Pig Races, but I'm a couple of months early for that.
Tomorrow I'll continue West through Underbelly territory (Griffith).

it is good to know you are well
Greg, sounds like you have had fun there even the weather is not as good as you expected. How far you drove away from us totally? Keep trying to go out and get fresh air. But please drive safe. Pray for the good weather coming on your way. Sarah
