Day 2, AM. Bloody flooded rivers. Good for the farmers, but. Inverell > Tenterfield

Sunshine tempered by a chill in the wind greeting eager esCarpadians this morning, a welcome change from the past day and great assistance for scraping the ice off our windshields! Rugging up a little, all 66 cars made the Lions Club of Inverell breakfast, a smorgasbord of quiches, croissants, fruits and cereals. Great to start the day with a little food coma lethargy.

Then onto the road. Sadly the mighty Clarence River had a bit too much to drink of the past few days and the morning route was altered to avoid 1 metre deep rapids sweeping cars away.

Onwards to Deepwater and across to Tenterfield. A local farmer chainsawing a gigantic tree off his fence offered advice in his lazy drawl - "Road ey? If you're looking for a road, well, there isn't one". Always good for the confidence. Mind you, we should have listened...

Some more river crossing action was on the cards.

As was some classic 'chewin-up-the-road' style driving.

Before hitting Tenterfield Rail Museum for a BBQ lunch and some loungin' around in the sunshine.
