Cool cars on hot days

The best place to be on a 44-degree day is an air-conditioned car. We left Foxground on the NSW south coast at 9.18am and arrived at Bathurst at 4.01pm.

At Crookwell we stopped to peruse a shop called Bush Rangers and was told by the lovely shopkeeper this had nothing to do with bushrangers. But we later learnt that the Ribbon Gang hid out at Abercrombie Caves and finally were caught. In true Australian fashion they were hung, and a lane was named after them in Bathurst.

We had coffee at a converted picture theatre where we were told the rich sat upstairs and threw jaffas at the poor down below.

We ended the day with a gin and basil smash at Webb and Co bar. The best way to cool down on a very long hot day.
