A turning point...

There comes a turning point in every girls life.

It is not when she gets her first bra. Nor when she kisses a boy for the first time. Or buys her first car. Or diamond.

Nope.

It's the day she buys her first topographic map.

Yes, it's true. Yours truly - who doesn't own a street directory & instead relies on her own innate sense of direction - is now the proud owner of not 1 but 2 topo maps (Springwood & Katoomba if you must know).

I'm sure the PG girls are shaking their heads at me right now - but I know others out there understand…. ;-)

Let the adventures begin!

You're starting to scare me babe - but in a good way :)

Congratulations on your coming of age Jen - I well remember my first map - Pokolbin State Forest 1:63,360 (inch to the mile) and what a thing of beauty it was - certainly opened my eyes to a whole new world of cartographical bliss.

I feel like you've become all grown up ;-)

You might be able to figure out a way to run around the mountains at 6'.

Watch out for dropbears Jen. They're everywhere up there. 2P would have seen some I'm sure. ;-)

If you buy one that covers the coast to Kossi then I'll start worrying.
