    December 27, 2024 in Australia ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C

    We’re away…. And so is half of Sydney!
    We headed south for a couple of hours to a little town called Gunning. Traffic on the freeway added an extra hour to the trip!
    But we finally arrived and found a free camping site at Gunning Showgrounds.
    We have visited Gunning once before - when we got a flat when bringing Helen’s horse up from Melbourne. And it has been a running joke ever since.

    December 28, 2024 in Australia ⋅ 🌙 22 °C

    We left our free camping site at Gunning Showground early this morning for the drive to Griffith. After the heatwave of yesterday, the temperatures dropped to 12 degrees overnight resulting in a very brisk start to the morning.
    Heading to Griffith whilst listening to Peter Fitzsimmons' audiobook on Galipili and passing through towns like Harden/Murrumburrah where the Light Horse was formed and many locals signed up and served in the First World War.
    Upon returning from the war the Murrumbidgee Irrigation Area was being developed and returned soldiers were given land leases to develop the land.
    Heading towards Griffith we came across a road closure and were detoured to Cootamundra where Don Bradman was born - we briefly pulled into the museum and had a look around.
    Arriving in Griffith we headed to Calabria Family Wines and had an antipasto plate whilst we tasted their range of very nice wines. Coincidentally, we went to a restaurant called Little Italy for dinner where we emptied a Calabria Cab Sav.
