The run home

After an enjoyable hour or more exploring Yanga Woolshed we headed off to Hatfield about 110ks north on the Ivanhoe road.. We camped here a couple of years ago outside of the pub. It was definitely abandoned then and in a bad way but it looks like something is happening now. There is a new sign on the roof and new guttering and down pipes. Also a sign saying no trespassing, keep out. We will have to come back again to check it out
We camped this time at the Community Hall and old school site. I'm not sure when they closed but the school opened in 1989 and had a 10yr anniversary but that's all the info I can find. The Hall definitely hasn't been used since the last time we were here in Oct. 2020 and it hadn't been used a long time before that.
We cooked a lamb roast in the camp oven that night and after a good feed and a good sleep we headed off the next morning and spent the day driving through Ivanhoe, Hillston, Lake Cargelligo to Euabalong, where we camped the night on the Lachlan River. This is an area we have travelled through many, many times so we didn't feel the need to stop and explore. Besides that we were soooo close to home. One thing I did notice was the lack of tourists in this area. We drove over 400ks from Hatfield to Euabalong and passed no more than 20 cars and 15 of those would have been local farmers. There were no caravans. Probably the time of the year but who knows.
We woke up Sunday morning and after another 4 hour drive through very familiar country we parked the van in front of 102 Commodore Crescent
Home after 2. 5 months of another very enjoyable and fun new adventure. Can't wait for the next one.Read more
