  • Orange

    April 21, 2023 in Australia ⋅ ☀️ 19 °C

    After stopping off for lunch at our favourite Hartley Cafe, we arrived at Orange mid afternoon and checked into the Canobolas Caravan Park. There was time to visit Dad in the aged care facility while we waited for the others to arrive. A late pizza dinner was ordered for the Southwell crew who had been delayed for 5 hours with trailer issues. It was lovely to finally have them arrive! They had a bit of fun in our cabin while Mum and Dad set up the camper trailer 😉Read more

    Arriving at Dubbo at about 1:30 we decided to drop off the trailer and head to the zoo to get a lay of the land for tomorrow. We had Reuben’s birthday cake on the Savannah lookout tower after checking out some of the animals. Back to the caravan park to have dinner and get an early night ready for the full day tomorrow!Read more

    Time to head towards home. After exploring the Main Street we met up with Marty, Beth and the boys to drive to Orange. Dubbo is a lovely place. The trees in town at this time of the year are beautiful. I’d love to return to Dubbo and visit a few more places such as the jail....Read more
