Wisemans Ferry is a town on the northern outskirts of Sydney and the south-west of the Central Coast region in the state of New South Wales, Australia, located 75 kilometres north north-west of Sydney. It is located in the Sydney local government areas of the Hornsby Shire, The Hills Shire, City of Hawkesbury and the Central Coast Council. The town is a tourist spot with picnic and barbecue facilities. As well as a rich convict and colonial heritage in the area, the Dharug National Park and Yengo National Park are close by.

I kind of admire that you set up a bot to drive some conversation from random Sydney places. Have only driven past wiseman’s, but thanks for the inspiration for a weekend jaunt.

The bot account is being used to post these but it isn't scripted atm. I've been logging in to the bot account once a week. It would be nice to have a bot that could do something like this but I don't have time or skill. When I get around to scheduling the bot to post the weekly thread it will just be a new title and thread, unfortunately no picture or info.

Wisemans is nice. Hard to get to without a car. I always wanted to go to Spencer which is not far from there. But you also need a car that can handle dirt roads as there's a few of those once you cross the river at Wisemans (I'm pretty sure the ferry is free).

Oh right haha dedication. I wouldn’t mind trying to set up a fedi bot but probably have to run my own server to avoid spamming people with test junk.

Never even heard of Spencer, sounds interesting

There is !localtesting@aussie.zone for this purpose.

Pretty sure I was using lemmy-post-bot.I don't think it's been updated in a while.

You can also get a free punt across Wiseman's Ferry!

Pacific Hwy/Peats Ridge/Wiseman's Ferry Rd is a great drive. They kind of loop/criss-cross each other, so you can design your own path. And if you want a short cut, you just hit the M1.

I love wondering about what it would be like to live around there, and, as I drive by, who lives in that place, and what are they doing now/today/this week, and how similar and how different are our lives? And wouldn't it feel good to just start running in any direction, and when you stopped because you couldn't run anymore, you were still on your own property?

The roads also take me back to my reailty...

I visited friends in Lismore recently. I noted the hills and valleys look so green and open, but if you were to start walking to them your dreams of going on a Hobbit style adventure would be short lived.

It's 15C for crying out loud!

I've had to dig out my ugg boots and some winter clothes again!
