Today we headed from Dubbo and again
managed to find some back roads and avoided the main roads, for a while anyway.
Our trip was pretty uneventful, nice quiet
roads with spectacular Aussie bush all around us. We were somewhat shattered that we had to join up to a main
highway (the Hume) for a kilometer or two before we hit Tumut. When we got to Tumut we stopped at a
park to stretch our legs and were again blessed with deciduous trees, Finn
loved playing in the leaves.
From Tumut we joined the Snowy Mountain
Highway, and came across the area we had already pre planned to stop at –
Blowering Dam. It looked so
different to the pictures in our Camps Australia Wide app, in the picture the
camps are up in the bush and the water levels at the dam come right up to the
tree line.
When we arrived we found that the water levels
were waaayyy down, we ended up driving along what would normally be the dam
floor and found a nice little spot to set up for the night.
Once set up we lit our fire (which we
missed last night as we were in a caravan park), and had a quick flick of a lure
in the dam – no luck again :(.
As soon as we finished up dinner the
weather came in, it was really squally and started raining. Shan decided to run a few ropes off the
awning so it wouldn’t flap about.
The rain put a dampener (pardon the pun) on
our fire so we decided to sit in the camper and watch a movie on the laptop
(first world problems, lol).
Tomorrow we are headed further down the
Snowy Mountain Highway, and may even get to Orbost a day early.
Till then
The Wanderin’ Watson’s.
