   This is day 2 of the 4 day Rooty Hill to Mitchell (ACT) tour.
   
   Facilities en-route:
   
   - Pass railway stations at Yerrinbool, Moss Vale, Exeter, Bundanoon, Penrose, Wingello, & Tallong. Other station like Mittagong & Bowral a few kms off the route. Note that trains to stations beyond Moss Vale are infrequent on weekdays, and even less often on weekends.
   - Major shopping centre in Moss Vale, with Bundanoon having a reasonable selection too, including 'Ye olde Bicycle Shoppe Cafe'. The following towns have at least a general store: Yerrinbool, Exeter, Penrose, Wingello, Tallong & Marulan.
   - Bike Shops: Cycliste, 1/278 Argyle St, Moss Vale, Ph (02) 4868 3606; Bong Bong Cycles, 399 Bong Bong St, Bowral - (02) 4861 1419.
   - Alternative accommodation: Mittagong: Camping/Caravan Park and hotels/motels; Moss Vale: Caravan/Camping Park and hotels/motels; Bundanoon: Gambells Rest Campground (In Morton NP, ~1.5km south of Bundanoon. Ph (02) 4887 7270), YHA Ph (02) 4883 6010, hotel and probably more.
   
   Facilities and Accommodation options in Marulan:
   
   - Large roadside service stations on the other side of town. They have KFC, Hungry Jacks and another Roadhouse Restaurant.
   - Railway station (See comment below about infrequent services).
   - Terminus Hotel, cnr George & Thoroughfare Sts. Ph (02) 4841 1504. Only two rooms, each with Queen & single beds. $45 single. Grass area out back - May let you put up a tent. Tent option would be noisy due to proximity to Fwy.
   - Small park in George St with toilets (not officially a camping area). Noisy overnight due to short distance from Hume Fwy.
   - Sports reserve with tennis courts in Brayton Rd. May be suitable for camping if you can get toilets unlocked. (Definitely less Fwy noise than George St park!)
