    👍🏻 Great movie in a fabulous venue 📽️- Nest, Tumbarumba
    👎🏻 Not quite peace and tranquility 😳

    The road into Tumbawumba was VERY ‘undulating’ but as we were caught up behind a slow logging truck we couldn’t be blamed for slowing up the traffic 😜

    Once set up we headed into town to Nest-an awesome venue that is both cafe 🍽️ and boutique cinema📽️.
    Once a dark Masonic Lodge, it is now one of only a few single screen cinemas remaining.

    We ordered lunch which was delivered to us as we settled into reclining armchairs to watch ‘Now you see me: Now you don’t’ 🎞️- we’ve had been wanting to watch this for ages and it was only showing today and tomorrow which was perfect timing 👌🏻
    The food and the whole experience was fantastic 🥰

    In the afternoon the Seagull headed into Mannus State Forest for a little fun on the MTB trails 🚴- 16.5km of fun 🤩

    We soon discovered our beautifully peaceful caravan park isn’t all that it seems- it accommodates A LOT of contractors and workers, who are probably all lovely individuals but arrive enmasse in the afternoon to use the amenities and very loudly relax after a hard days work, then at 6am the chorus of doors banging and engines idling begins as they all prepare to set off for work 😳
