Thanks for all your input and sorry I didnt respond sooner.

Ive been ill for a few days and the old t'interweb has decided to play up at home...grrrr....telstra/bigpond cable...grrrrr....

In the end I was dragged along yesterday and we went to the tree sisters, scenic world and wentworth falls and had a bbq in one of the parks near scenic world.

I decided very early on that yesterday was a reccie for a better weekend away when the sister in law and kids come over for Christmas... Need to start to ggogle zig zag railway as that seems to get a lot of votes, along with Mount Hay Road...

Will leave the dog at home next time too...

Thanks
jon
