We had a very sound sleep last night. I always feel better
sleeping under the stars. By morning we realised how close we were to the
highway awoken by the constant roar of traffic. What started out warm and
bright ended soggy and a little frazzled. Breakfast was started and so did the
rain, I finished cooking Simon's porridge under the new big umbrella we bought
in Taree. We had closed the trailer lid and pushed the drawer back in so
porridge was eaten with a fork.... it worked..... sort of!
We managed to roll up the damp swag and put the damp pillows
and sleeping bags in the car. I did manage to make my breakfast and by 9:30 all
was packed and the damp frazzled beings slid in to the car and started
westward.
It had been suggested by Sandy we stay at the exhibition
grounds (showgrounds) so I checked details on my phone (these smart phones do
have some advantages) wouldn’t you know it closed for the show! Who has the
show in February? September is show month!

| Driving in to town |
The first park was full, the second had spaces and keen to
unpack and dry off we booked in for 3 nights. $36 a night for “anywhere on the
grass” with power. Grass was an understatement, grass here is apparently not
soft or green and the ground is harder than concrete. 14 bent pegs dispatched
to the bin, and 14 new ones purchased at Anaconda after we put the camper up.
A chat with Jock our neighbour revealed that this is a cheap
caravan park for Canberra sheesh! After
dinner of beef stroganoff, rice and salad we went on a little explore of the
capital. More exploring tomorrow.
