Abercrombie Caves

Hi lovelies, Today was our first “let’s go for a walk” day for a while.   😊 . We headed off for Abercrombie Caves, which are about 60km south-eastish of Bathurst.   Now the good news is – before we went I checked on the days they are open, and we actually found the caves without getting lost.

The Museum was wonderful.   So much history.   They also have an immersion room where they show a surround-video of a lap of the circuit.   Really cool. Lots of cars, Bikes, Sidecar bikes, As we
