Day 7

Day 7.
We drove to Gravelly Beach had coffee overlooking the Tamar River.




Then followed the coast road to Beconsfield and had a look around the old Gold mine site now a museum and not operating. Pretty little town. 


Beauty Point .


Was recommended it was a nice drive along the Tamar River and over a small but spectacular  bridge,Batman Bridge, but nothing to do but turn around once you got there unless you wanted to go to the seahorse exhibition.


 Onto Bridport which is touristy town with cycleways on the beach. The caravan park had great spread out spots along the beach with little rocky coves in between.



 It is ridiculously expensive and the town is not RV friendly with no free camping signs everywhere. Had a nice ride around town.



 Topped up with water and dumped at the public site in the caravan park. Then off to Waterhouse Conservation Area. it was recommended by the ranger at our last camp. Scenery is brilliant along the way. We heard about the 2nd best golf course in aus. Called Barnbougle.we stopped in to have a look.



 Actually 2 courses there . Got out to have a look and the place oozed money. Just opened in Dec 2024. We walked past 4 guys well tailored and one looking like Clive Palmer was telling the group his Mazerati was arriving tomorrow.  We felt a bit boganist in our thongs shirt and shorts. Any way I wasn't paying $189 for a game of golf. Besides I only had running shoes and they were not allowed.
We then drove about 12km along the worst corrugated track but ended up at a great free camp spot. 



The  flys and march flies are a bit much but I was prepared from  past trips. 

Brilliant they can't get in and a peaceful  dinner.

Day 1.

Well after thinking we were getting away early to start the trip plans changed. After Sal did her laps at Woonona pool we had a great breakfast with all the family and Lous parents at the North Break Cafe at Woonona. Photos and a couple of tears from Sal and we got away about 10.30am.  Easy drive to Yass and Sal took over while I slept in the back.  Wandered around Gundagai in some reasonable heat decided on Criterion Pub for pizza later and chilling in van.  Lost my horn as we were farewelling Oreste so maintenance starts already. Otherwise all going well.  Click on the link and hopefully a video will appear thanks to Leanne and her brains trust. Gundagai Free Camp https://youtube.com/shorts/lkXXHWhd0cQ?feature=shared

Day 2

Image
Quiet night with all fans blowing hard keeping it at an acceptable temperature. Early start along highway. Saw a truck rollover but he considerately went off the road to do it so no hold up. No one was injured. The driver was talking to the Police probably trying to convince him he didn't fall asleep on a straight stretch of road. All workers on hand at Holbrook painting the submarine. The submariners return every Australia day and paint her up. They stay in town and have a few drinks together at the local pub. Off to Echuca to hopefully find a spot by the river. The co-pilot wanted to do more driving so here she goes. Next to no traffic. It is a nice feeling to be on the 🛣️ again. Stopped in Rutherglen. Nice street to wander along. Old buildings interesting shops. Onto Murray Valley Highway and found our way to Chisties Beach on the Murray just out of Echuca. Found this great spot and waded in for a dip.  No serenity. It is filled with ski boats and jet skis, house bo...

Packing the motorhome a week out.

Image
 Well it is just a week away before we head off on our Biggest Trip ever. We are in the motorhome in Tassie for most of February. We are meeting friends at Geelong and doing some cycle rail trails for a few days.  After that we are exploring places along the coast towards the Nullabour. Then explore the areas towards the Margaret River Region.  We are leaving the motorhome at Perth Airport and pick up a car to travel up to Exmouth. Swim with Whale Sharks up there and snorkeling.  Back to Perth and fly over to Bali and meet the family there for a week. We are heading to another area in Bali for another week. From Perth we wander back exploring places we missed on the way.  We anticipate the trip will end back home in July.
