April 23-29

After leaving Gundagai we headed to Tumut and camped at Jones Bridge, 8 km from town.
The river flow increases and drops depending on how many hydro generators are running.


Endless supply of good clean water for washing was great.
Billy got to try out his new coat.

Jounami Dam wall.

After the Anzac Day march through Tumut we headed off on the Snowy Mountains Hwy to a camp we have used a couple of times. Yarrangobilly Village. Very cold and raining. Sue was hoping for snow but no luck. Dropped to -1.7 deg overnight.

This was taken when we crossed the 1000m mark. 

Billy looking happy beside the mountain stream. 

And yes it was cold. 

Stopped in Cooma for a cuppa and for Billy to have a run. 

Yes i like my coffee. 

Bredbo Inn Hotel allows campers to set up behind the pub where i fixed the bracket for the EGR pipe (again). As always assisted by Bill.

We decided to go to Canberra for the day to visit the War Memorial. Bill wasn't too impressed by being left at the car for a couple of hours. We could here him howl as we left him.

Look at me.

After our visit to the Memorial, Sue needed some retail therapy and Bill and i walked around. 

Back to the Bredbo for a late dinner and sleep. BUT first to fix the leaking water filter and pump. 

Camp for tonight is in Scrubby Creek Forestry. Great spot the forestry down here should be thanked. 

April 13-22

Started from Home and drove up to see my mum as she is staying with sister Karen in Warwick. Then off to Westbrook to Bella B&B for 2 nights.
Driving south along the Newell Hwy and stayed outside the Bogabilla Cemetery. Nothing sinister here though.
Easter sunday has us at a river just east of Narrabri called Turrawan Beside the River.

Beer and crackers time. 

After two nights and a trip to the vet to repair Billy's broken claw - he broke it on the step of the van and the Narrabri vet had to use sedation to remove the offending piece. 

Onwards southbound we go and came across a rock aptly called Frog Rock. This is just outside the town of Gulgong. The town has great parks with manicured grass and the locals were preparing for Anzac Day. 

That night 19-04-2017 we camped at Ilford in the park opposite the RFS and local hall. Some of the towns here really like to encourage travelers to stay. It was cold at night and we finally tested the diesel heater out. 900 m altitude, not high enough for snow.

Driving to Bathurst today for a look at the shops and a slow tour of the circuit. On the way we visited the small Heritage town of Sofala.

Bill had a game with his new friend.

And of course from Skyline.

Camped at Tout Scenic View - 20 km N of Young. Great views of surrounding farmland.

Billy finally made it to the Dog on the Tuckerbox. 

The old bridges at Gundagai are still standing. I remember crossing these old timber bridges as a young lad.
