Bathurst, NSW

My friend Nikki is from Bathurst, New South Wales, and she has been wanting me to come home with her and meet all her friends and family. So I went last weekend for the night to celebrate her boyfriend Aaron's 18th birthday. Yes, I felt very old. There were two car fulls of us riding down, and halfway through, we stopped at McDonald's, or Mackers they call it to get food. Then all of a sudden, there were 5 people in a small hatchback car. Yes, I got stuck in the back with Nikki and Rachel's boyfriends, smushed. Thankfully, when we got into Bathurst, we spotted a field FULL of kangaroos, and so we stopped since I had been looking for a kangaroo this whole time. It was exciting. Then we went to Mt. Panorama, where there is a famous race every year. The next day, Nikki and Aaron drove me around the town showing me both their schools, and all the various parts of Bathurst. I had my first pie, but the vegetarian kind, and it was good! Unfortunately, I was very sick during the trip, and wasn't my normal self, I had to go to the doctor once I got back to campus.
