Finley - New South Wales

I get out and about in my job earthmoving and building Silos and last week was no exception. Left Young Thursday 29th to head out to Finley to sort out a few things on a job before returning back Friday night. Yep, a quickie, we all love em but rather fast n furious with what I had to get done.

Stayed overnight in the Finley Motel opposite Finley Lake. The motel was rather uninviting from the outside but a classic point of "never judge a book by its cover". I was greeted with a friendly smile and a very engaging sort of fella who was only too happy to help. Good start ! The room was super clean, well furnished and hey presto, BIG coffee mugs! Yep, I love my coffee and all too often they have these piddly lil 1 sip coffee mugs that just annoy the beejesus outta me. Simple I know but this place had things in it that enhance your stay and make you want to come back, a lot don't. Pssst, and the price ?...a mere 65 bux!

Trundled downtown to the local chinese, another smiling face and helpful. Yep, that's Country folk for ya. Ten minutes later and I was headed back to the Motel with mouth watering at the smell of it and a few Cougars (as in bourbon) under my arm.

Decided that dinner by the lake was the go and hoed into those fantastic king prawns, steamed vegies, rice n cashews. Washed that down with the best Bourbon on earth and sat back very contented watching an AWSUM sunset over the lake. Great finish to what was a pretty boring day driving.
