• Lions Park Howlong NSW

    Apr 2–3 in Australia ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C

    Roger finds this park he's looking for, and we work out where we'd like to set up for camp. I'm mentioning to Roger that this place isn't listed as a camping spot (on Wiki Camps it is a day use area) - Roger feels sure from talking with Muddy that people can camp overnight here 🤞 We choose our spot - not much set up to do, as we're keeping the ute hitched and not using the awning etc. Now we make our lunch - using Clare's sourdough for our cheese and vegemite sandwiches- yum! Roger's keen to go for a walk to Howlong's shopping area to get some meat from the butcher - I decide I'm happy to stay at the van and catch up our budget books. Roger returns, very pleased with the meat he has purchased, reckons it is a terrific butcher shop. Now we both relax beside the water (me in the caravan lol) reading our books. Mid afternoon Roger decides he'll go for another walk into town and I decide I'd better go too this time. We get back in time to have evening drinks before tea. Roger cooks up chicken snitzels (from Howlong butcher - they are good) and boiled vegetables. Roger has his shower, I get the dishes washed. Now our usual evening relax before bedtime.
    3/04/25 Thursday. Wake up to relief that we haven't been asked to 'move on' or to pay a fine for camping here! We did have more fellow campers arrive yesterday evening- so we weren't alone! We're up around 7.30am and have breakfast - both have porridge, which Roger follows with some sourdough toast. Enjoy our cuppas. Get tidied up and ready to move on by 9am. My main aim this morning is to get our card and birthday gift posted to Robert in the hope it will make it in time for the 10th. Just trying to make sure Robert knows how much we love him and let him know that even though we're away travelling, he's in our thoughts. Have decided 'main' gift - update his runners (footwear), and include a cap, a Beanie (these from places we've enjoyed) and a quick pick Tattslotto ticket. We get this done in Howlong at Howlong Post Office. Now driving to Wodonga - to do a grocery shop.
