November Mystery Run - Marulan

The run this month was to Marulan for lunch at the Terminus Hotel.

Another cool morning with just one degree at daybreak! Six members in three cars (all shades of red) attended Daughters at Hall for a brew before our scheduled departure at 10:30am. We drove along Nanima, Murrumbateman and Sutton Roads to our designated comfort stop at Gunning where, due to an increased temperature, we were able to discard one level of clothing. After Gunning we were on the “old” Hume Hwy through to Breadalbane and then the “new” Hume Hwy to Goulburn. Not sure why the old Hume Hwy is in good condition with much recent work. One can only assume a resident along this route has been successful in lobbying authorities to improve the condition of the road.

After Goulburn we made our way through some local roads to Mountain Ash Road en route to Bungonia. Just before Bungonia we turned left into Jerrara Road. Recently, this road has received much attention from the police as they searched and successfully recovered the two bodies that were allegedly hidden by a police officer. For some reason, the speed limit on Jerrara Road has been reduced to 80kph like many other country roads. It is hard to understand, in this day and age with advanced technologies used in motor vehicles, i.e. ABS, traction control, much improved suspensions, tyres, etc., that speed limits are being reduced! Is it safety or revenue raising?

Lunch was at the Terminus Hotel at Marulan where we enjoyed a very good meal in a quiet hotel. Isn’t it pleasant to sit down to a meal without loud music (noise!) in the background?

Our afternoon coffee/drink stop was at the Hume Café in Gunning. Our previous concerns about the standard of coffee were confirmed and most members opted for milk shakes or ice creams.

Thanks to all on the run today, very enjoyable!
