👍🏻 Aviation Heritage Centre, RAAF Wagga- great free museum run by volunteers
👎🏻 The Seagull’s not his usual self today 😔

We have loved our unexpected stay at the Rock but it’s time for us to move on….
We had planned to head to Tumbarumba, but it turns out Tumba Fest is on, who knew 🤷🏼‍♀️
Everyone but us it would seem as it’s currently chockers

So …….

We headed out of Wagga Wagga, stopping at the Aviation Heritage Centre at RAAF Wagga 🛩️.
It’s a great free museum, run by volunteers and currently only open Sat/Sun so we were very glad to be passing by at the right time.

And decided to stop at Adelong, a small town with a rich history including its heritage Main Street and the Adelong Falls Gold Mill Ruins – one of the best-preserved examples of the region's gold rush past ⛏️. It also has a scenic sculpture walk along the river.

We thought this would be a good base to explore the region for a few days, and so once set up we headed for the Tourist Information at Tumut ℹ️, and came away with some great info 📖

Today was a little too hot to set out exploring the trails 🚶🏼‍♀️🏃🏼🚴, but the next few days are expected to be cooler (and wetter) so that will be perfect 🤞🏻

The Seagull isn’t particularly feeling it today, he’s not his usual self. Being on the road isn’t all rainbows 🌈 and unicorns 🦄 and you def need to focus on your physical and mental wellbeing.
So the afternoon was spent doing nothing much, sitting back, watching the local cricket match 🏏 and relaxing. Hopefully he’ll be back on track tomorrow

We found some spiced rum in the van so Saturday night cocktails were Dark and Stormy’s 🍹-probably should have saved those for tomorrow and the predicted rain and storms 🤣Read more
