• Rocky Plains Campground

    Apr 22–23 in Australia ⋅ 🌬 11 °C

    Come off the Snowy Mountains highway to this campground. We park the vehicle, and get into our van to grab our coats and beanies - it's cold! Walk around and select where we want to camp (1st in best dressed situation) - we already have some camping neighbours - people here with their horses.
    Roger drives to our selected camp area, gets our van fairly level without need of chocks etc. All good - not much set up required as leaving ute hitched and not worrying about mat or awning.
    Time for lunch - heating pumpkin soup on caravan stove, and toasting crumpets under the griller. Will just 'bunker down' and relax - Rog is talking about lighting the campfire - we'll see! Turns out too damp and miserable to worry about a fire. Roger does go for a walk to check out a nearby hut - I'm happy to stay snug in our caravan reading my book. Rog returns soaked! Changes to get warm. Tea tonight - Roger makes up a beef 'stew' - lovely full of vegetables as well. Time for Roger's shower - I'm too into the book I'm reading to worry about our few dishes tonight. Eventually finish the book and get to bed.
    23/04/25 Wednesday Drizzly rain throughout the night - still going this morning! Roger gets up before 7am - I stay in bed until 7.30am. Nothing much we can do with this wet weather, so we have our breakfasts and get ready to leave. On the move just after 8.30am.
