Kms @ end of this trip: 262/1400
3 nights – 6-8 April 2023 – 3rd trip in the van.
Decided on a quick trip away to test out the heater in a drive-through with ensuite at “Gundagai Cabins & Tourist Park” which has a weighbridge.
This is a G’Day site with a 10%discount, and we are “Mates”.
A good site with covered van parking for those using en-suites.
ALSO: Has a weighbridge to check your weights are all OK.
The rain dumped for 2 nights but the days were great for exploring.
Rather quiet weekend, walked the town on Friday with just a few shops open being Good Friday. Had lunch at the Niagara Cafe where numerous PMs have dined before. Place was upgraded a year back to what it was about a century ago Good food and great milkshakes.
Spent Saturday at the local museum and then the Pen Museum. Paid our $5 each and had a 2 hour personal tour. Interesting stuff and amazed that the owner really knew his museum and pens so well, quite incredible.
Came across a guy Andrew (who owns and island in the WhitSundays and was a Corporate Lawyer. His new Land Cruiser had blown up, seems the computer had mucked up and slipped into park on highway, gearbox dead. He purchased a 2 man rent as there was absolutely no accommodation anywhere in town and he needed to wait out the weekend so see where the tow truck would take his car. He was totally unconcerned.
Tried the new van heater this time; worked perfectly.
Only needed a15 minute burst to warm the van and keep our shorts on.
