    I kind of admire that you set up a bot to drive some conversation from random Sydney places. Have only driven past wiseman’s, but thanks for the inspiration for a weekend jaunt.

      The bot account is being used to post these but it isn’t scripted atm. I’ve been logging in to the bot account once a week. It would be nice to have a bot that could do something like this but I don’t have time or skill. When I get around to scheduling the bot to post the weekly thread it will just be a new title and thread, unfortunately no picture or info.

      Wisemans is nice. Hard to get to without a car. I always wanted to go to Spencer which is not far from there. But you also need a car that can handle dirt roads as there’s a few of those once you cross the river at Wisemans (I’m pretty sure the ferry is free).

    You can also get a free punt across Wiseman’s Ferry!

    Pacific Hwy/Peats Ridge/Wiseman’s Ferry Rd is a great drive. They kind of loop/criss-cross each other, so you can design your own path. And if you want a short cut, you just hit the M1.

    I love wondering about what it would be like to live around there, and, as I drive by, who lives in that place, and what are they doing now/today/this week, and how similar and how different are our lives? And wouldn’t it feel good to just start running in any direction, and when you stopped because you couldn’t run anymore, you were still on your own property?

    The roads also take me back to my reailty…

      I visited friends in Lismore recently. I noted the hills and valleys look so green and open, but if you were to start walking to them your dreams of going on a Hobbit style adventure would be short lived.
