We are staying at Warragamba RV camp near Sydney so we can return our generator for warranty repairs. Beautiful huge parkland that allows free camping for 2 days very close to Warragamba Dam.

Bathurst
31. tammikuuta 2023, Australia ⋅ 🌙 16 °C
Today, we backtracked from Sydney to Bathurst while we waited for our generator to be repaired. We drove through Bathurst on the way to Sydney, and it looked like it needed further investigation. We are staying at the showgrounds where we were able to see the race horses training and the trotters trotting, it was quite a site
Day 2 : visit to Mount Panorama to see where the racing happens. Unfortunately, there is racing on this weekend, so we couldn't drive the track, still it was interesting. Had a look at the Macquarie River from the showgrounds decided to stay another day.
Day 3: Such a beautiful historic cityLue lisää

Lake Wallace (Lithgow)
6. helmikuuta 2023, Australia ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C
From one great camp to another, left Macquarie Woods today and set up camp at Lake Wallace, a few k's out of Lithgow. What a beautiful place, lots of caravans here, but it is so large and spread out that you barely see anyone else. The water hens are keeping Mega entertained and stimulated. Hopefully, he won't go over the fence.
Visited Lithgow and walked around town and then went to Hassan's Walls lookout and saw some amazing views.Lue lisää

Cowra
12. helmikuuta 2023, Australia ⋅ 🌙 15 °C
The benefits of travelling randomly around the country is that you learn so much about Australian history. Cowra was the site for the prisoner of wars camps in World War 2. Over 2000 Japanese and 2000 Italians were kept in these camps, in August 1944 the Japanese made an escape attempt and 240 were kiilled. The history is all over Cowra, and the Japanese Gardens are beautiful and manicured to perfection.Lue lisää

Cootamundra
13. helmikuuta 2023, Australia ⋅ 🌬 16 °C
We stopped and had a look at Young this morning, The Cherry Capital of Australia, but alas no cherries as it is off-season. Young was originally a gold town and was known as Lambing Flats. Lovely orchards along the road would be stunning when in flower, also lots and lots of sheep. We saw an echidna crossing the road and managed to get a quick photo.
Camped up beside Bethungra Dam just outside of Cootamundra. Cootamundra is the birth place of Sir Donald Bradman and the home of the Cootamundra wattleLue lisää

Gundagai
15. helmikuuta 2023, Australia ⋅ ⛅ 26 °C
I'm sitting in the Annex drinking tea and looking at the Murrumbidgee River who would've thought. We are in Gundagai parked on the banks of the river.
Went to visit the Dog on the Tucker box and look around that historic area, which included the ruins of an inn built in around 1858.
Gundagai is a lovely town. A lot has been done to attract the tourist with plaques announcing historic features and small brass statues of Tucker Box pups randomly placed on the main street. Really enjoyed the variety of shops and cafes.Lue lisää

Wagga Wagga
17. helmikuuta 2023, Australia
Again, staying near the Murrumbidgee River, this time in Wagga Wagga. Not one of my most favourite cities but has some appeal with its beach on the banks of the river and some beautiful churches and cathedrals. Had our first experience with medical issues on the road here and it opened our eyes to the disadvantages of living in a caravan with dogs but it all turned out well and maybe made us a bit more aware of our limits. Visited the Botanic Gardens with their little zoo and aviary. The aviary was lovely and well done with all the bottlebrush and other native treesLue lisää

Albury/Wodonga
20. helmikuuta 2023, Australia
Arrived in Albury via Culcairn, a very small town with a lot of appeal.
Settled into the Albury Showgrounds and then visited the information centre and railway station. The next day was spent looking around the area, the lookout, Hume Dam, Bonegilla Migrant Centre, which unfortunately wasn't open, and crossing into Victoria to visit Wodonga. If I had to choose between Albury and Wodonga, then Wodonga would win, though Albury has its appeal as well. In the afternoon, we visit the Murray River Parkland in Albury, and the boys swam in the Murray while we were out toesLue lisää

Eskdale/Mitta Mitta
23. helmikuuta 2023, Australia
Camped by the Mitta Mitta River just outside Eskdale, Victoria. Our first camp in Victoria and it is beautiful. Drove to have a look at Mitta Mitta, a very quaint little town on Snowy Creek. Lovely park area on the creek edge and cafe and general store opposite. Walked along a pioneer gold mine track where they mined gold in an open cut mine until the early 1900s, lots of ferns and rainforest. Headed back to Eskdale, another small town with an old butter factory and small IGA.Lue lisää

Omeo
24. helmikuuta 2023, Australia ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C
Wow! The longest windy road we have ever been on 3 hours to do 100kms. But the most beautiful views ever as well. We drove from Mitta Mitta to Omeo today and it is all mountain climbs and descents, The Snowy Mountains to be precise. Camped behind the Hill Top Hotel Omeo.
Today we did a day trip to Mt Hotham via Mt Kosciuszko Lookout and Dinner Plain. This is where you realise the vast differences in Australia. No snow but you can feel the atmosphere that will be there in Ski season. Spectacular views and village, but alas not for us, too cold.Lue lisää
