'Wherarwee' in Oz: Log 22/03 Numurkah

Well, we've been on the road a week now so time for the first log.

Leaving home last Sunday, we travelled 465K's to Gundagai where we camped for the night on the banks of Morley creek, no amenities but only 1 block behind all the shops. After making ourselves comfortable we headed into town for a look around. We know it's Sunday but where are the people, not a soul in sight. We found a couple of restaurants & decided on an early dinner, choosing the chinese. Monday saw us up bright & early for the run to Numurkah, our destination for the rest of the week. It was an easy trip (386K's) but the place we picked was closed to us & so we looked around. Seeing a couple of motorhomes in the local Lions Park we pulled in. There was a great spot on the river but we noticed that the other vans were all in the center of the park. We learned from the others that camping was not allowed along the river bank so we set up camp with them.

They turned out to be a friendly crowd, happy hour each day, a bus trip on Tuesday to Aintree Apiary to sample their honey, almonds & olives. Then onto the Big Strawberry for lunch & later one of the local wineries for a tasting. Wednesday we spent looking around town & doing a bit of shopping prior to entering the combined Victorian chapter rally.

The rally was held in the showground & over the next 4 days we played disc bowls, ladder golf, had loooong happy hours, bought BBQ dinner Thur & Fri nights then entertainment till about 10:00 PM, went to a Wizard of Oz themed ball on Sat night, & then BBQ again Sunday night, presentation of awards & more entertainment. Monday will see us packing up & moving on.
