Mini road trip

It looks like I'm off to Wagga Wagga on Wednesday, to complete stage 1 of the Cisco CNAP. The course is on Thursday and Friday 9-6, so it's unlikely I'll be back until Saturday afternoon. It's a tedious five hour drive each way. Tedious, because the only towns I'll be passing through are Tomingley, Peak Hill, Parkes, Forbes, West Wyalong, Barmedman and Temora. Tomingley is only a pub and two petrol startions, and Peak Hill and Barmedman each have a population of less than 2000 people. MAMBA. Why does it always have to be MAMBA?


I think I'll call in at the Dish coffee shop as I go through Parkes.

While you're there, though, you could pick up a few bottles of Cuiver Reserve Chateau Bottled Nuit (http://www.humorlinks.com/python/sketches/TheAustralianTableWineSketch.htm).

They spelled Wagga Wagga the way it's pronounced. 8)

Only tourists call Wagga Wagga Wagga.

I wish I could casually say things like "It looks like I'm off to Wagga Wagga on Wednesday."

Ah, well. I guess I'll settle for "I'm off to Colorado Springs tomorrow."

If you can get hold of a movie called The Dish, do so! It was filmed at This Dish. It's also Very Oz.

I'll definately look for it, I like Aussie films almost as much as I like Irish films.
