Poll Position - Trakmaster.

Since leaving Jingellic we have headed North through Tumut, where we based ourselves for a few days to catch up on some bookwork, we also did a day trip out to Blowering Dam,  the largest of the 16 dams of the Snowy Hysro scheme, it is also home to the largest Murray Power Plant No 3, unfortunately it is closed for upgrades so no inside tour was available, but still got to have a good look at the 6 huge pipelines coming down the mountain to run the turbines.

While we were at Tumut we experienced our coldest night yet. 1 degree.  Brrr..

 

The highlight of the past week however, was our crcuit of Mount Panorama. Driving around the track has given me a whole new respect for the race, you have no idea how steep that mountain is. I can' t

wait for that weekend in Bathurst. To know we managed to break the 20km/hr going up that hill in low gear and as you come into Skyline change into 3rd and 4th, just before switching down to 3rd to get down the Mountain. Definitely a highlight. 

Hey Robynne- Brighty better lookout. Trakmaster got Poll Position this weekend:)
