    Left Camperdown Castle around 9. The drive is very pleasant hardly any traffic. It is 10.30 and we just passed Hydro Majestic .

    Morning Tea

    November 17, 2020 in Australia ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C

    Morning tea break at McDonald's Lithgow about half way. No truck or trailer parking here so we took up 4 spaces.

    It won't be long now, just about in Mudgee.

    Big 4 Mudgee

    November 17, 2020 in Australia ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C

    The drive for John was easy no traffic and fairly good roads.

    The caravan park is very basic and the tent is on dirt. I think we might be the only tent all other sites have vans.

    Tent is basically up now just putting up shelves and making it look like we are glamping rather than camping.

    Now for a swim a tad cold but refreshing after putting up the tent.    Read more

    Downtown

    November 18, 2020 in Australia ⋅ 🌙 16 °C

    This morning after breakfast we drove into town and walked around looking into some very nice stores.

    We found an interesting place for coffee just a shame it was not that good.

    The Hardings

    November 18, 2020 in Australia ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C

    In the afternoon we visited Phil and Gina. They have a beautiful old house which they have restored and a huge yard which looks like you are in a park.

    We have not seen them for over 30 years so it was a lovely catch upRead more

    Mudgee Honey

    November 19, 2020 in Australia ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C

    A short drive from the Big 4 to Mudgee Honey. Here we tasted some Honey mead. We were not sure if we liked this. There was no honey tasting because of Covid but we purchased a few honey's for cheese, toast and tea. I tried and purchased some honey moisturiser. Now for a coffee and milkshake, no cakes.Read more

    Baker William Distillery

    November 19, 2020 in Australia ⋅ ⛅ 27 °C

    Baker William Distillery is a micro distillery located just outside Mudgee town centre. They make handcrafted spirits and liqueurs focusing on regional flavours. They opened in September 2012.

     In the beginning Nathan Williams said let's build a disillery and Helen Baker said let's make butterscotch snapps and the rest is history as they say.

    It was hard to decide what to select so we purchased 5 different bottles.    Read more

    November 19, 2020 in Australia ⋅ ⛅ 27 °C

    Whilst driving to the next location we came across The Henry Lawson Memorial.

    The Memorial is basically a picnic area but the original fireplace is still standing.

    The Memorial is the site of Henry Laswon's boyhood home. Where he was raised from 6 months to 15 years.Read more

    Peter Van Gent

    Next we visited Peter Van Gent wineries which were established about 35 years ago which was around the last time we visited Mudgee.

    The winery was set up using Chardonnay cuttings from Craigmoore Vineyard, the oldest in Australia.

    The winery had a good selection of fortified wines which of course we purchased a few.    Read more

    At the Campground

    November 20, 2020 in Australia ⋅ ⛅ 26 °C

    Stayed around the camp site today, this holiday was more about a rest. Just a shame the camp ground is not that appealing.

    After breakfast we had coffee at an aboriginal Cafe right next door the the camp ground. The food and surroundings are great.

    Back for lunch and a swim.

    Gina a Phillip dropped by to check out our tent then we went to Mudgee Club for afternoon tea.

    We hit Woolworths for some last minute grocery items and back to our tent for dinner and a movie.    Read more

    Just another day

    November 21, 2020 in Australia ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C

    Again we stayed at the camp-site resting and swimming.

    We also started to pack up a few things just to make it a little easier for tomorrow's departure.

    One last swim before we go out to dinner.

    Aboriginal Dinner Show

    November 21, 2020 in Australia ⋅ ☁️ 25 °C

    Tonight we went back to aboriginal Cafe for dinner and a show. Whilst the show was not that professional it was still very interesting. We both had hamburger, John a roo burger and Carol slow cooked lamb in spices. The desert was just a yummy pretty chocolate tart.Read more

    Packing up

    November 22, 2020 in Australia ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C

    Up early as it is pack up day. We did some yesterday which helped but guess what it is raining, well a light shower. Due to the rain it took a little longer than it should of because we could not leave things outside or start parking the trailer.

    Once the rain shower finished we could finish packing.

    All done and on the road.    Read more

    Time to drive home

    November 22, 2020 in Australia ⋅ ⛅ 28 °C

    The drive is very easy we stopped again in Lithgow for McDonald's.

    The remainder of the drive was easy and we arrived home safely.

    John is getting use to driving with the trailer now.
