Called about the car and arranged to see it again this afternoon. Spent the morning looking around Jenolan Caves - though didn't go inside (no time). Went to the bank to deal with getting hold of a large enough amount of money to buy a car.
Looked at the car again, drove it, still want it, negotiated down a little more, and bought it. I am now the proud owner of a big red 1980 Nissan Patrol. It's bigger and louder (diesel) than I'm used to, but it does feel right.
Drove into Blue Mountains National Park and saw my first Kangaroos! Well the first non-roadkill ones.
The drive back to Sydney was amazingly stressful. I was trying to follow Susie's car, through heavy traffic, in a much larger car than I've ever been used to, and on the wrong side of the road... I was a wreck by the time I finish parallel parking it in front of Chris and Sof's. One well needed beer turned into a few more undeserved ones. Besides a great Thai diner with some of the usual crowd (Dean, Susie, and Belinda) the rest of the night was tragic.
