Almost a year ago I set out on a mission to see the guy I liked play a show in Bathurst. On my journey there I decided to pull off to see a glow worm tunnel just before Lithgow. Much to my surprise, the wet conditions on the road sent my car flying off into a ditch in the national park where I was stranded for 3 hours before a very kind random man found me and my totalled car and drove me all the way to Bathurst so I could continue my quest despite being covered in mud and probably needing medical attention - the car remained in ditch for a few days, it needed to be taught a lesson. Upon my arrival at the Panorama Motel in Bathurst I was understandably still in a state of shock and the man at reception was so lovely and kind, my eyes were incredibly puffy and I was still kinda crying and again, covered in mud; so I can't imagine what he thought had happened to me but the kindness did not go unnoticed (unlike my state of mental derangement which was VERY noticeable). Compared to the literal ditch I had spend majority of my day in, the room was heaven. It was warm and clean and provided the quietness I needed to recoop from my near death experience. The man at reception was kind enough to give me a free drink voucher, I'm sure I looked like I needed it, and I had some food there before I continued on my quest for love in Bathurst. Everything was lovely. It was a nice vibe in the TAB where I decided would be a good place to sit (?) and the staff would refill my drink when they noticed it getting low. You guys hold a very special place in my heart. Long story short, I did find love in Bathurst, we've been together for nearly 9 months now, I like to think the Panorama Motel had something to do with that. And for that, I am forever grateful. RIP my car
