Hmmm. Wasn't me, though I would have been coming back down the Mid-Hartley Rd (the back way) from Lithgow just a half hour earlier in a car with a very similar description. Small world.
BTW. I'm sure you're fully tuff and all, mate. But isn't that part of the road a big building site, and aren't the speed limits 60kph? Perhaps he was just being sane?
