Catching Up

It has been a long time since I hit this screen, but here goes -

On 22nd April John and I packed up van and car and set off for Wagga, booked into the Beach Caravan Park - $25 a night. Pleasant place decided to stay for 2 nights - set off the shop for fresh food - hadn't shopped for weeks, found the shopping centre - stocked up and headed home for a meal.

Friday 23/4/10 was time to explore the shopping centre again and then we set off exploring the town, went out to the RAF base, they were closed for refurbishment, had to content ourselves with taking a photograph of the real aircraft on display, on the Botanical Gardens - I think we missed those gardens, there were animals and a walk in bird aviary. The afternoon was spent on a museum display and a glass exhibition, wandering in the late afternoon sunshine was nice.

That night the rain came, lots of it, as Taswegians we were amazed, though I believe Tasmania got a share too.

Sunday we did the tourist thing again at Junee, the licorice factory, very well presented in an old flour mill - explored again then set off back towards Wagga-I found a beautifully restored chapel and took some photos, went to a field past Kapooka to watch some model planes, went on to Uranquity and bought the pies for tea, that were recommended by the receptionist at the museum who had lived in Tas for a while and thought it was great.

Packed up on the Monday and headed for Griffith.

Passed a lot of possible camps but we found a place beside Lake Wyangan, power, water - lovely view over the lake.
