Denman to Tumut:21/10 and back to Geelong:22/10

We left Denman and headed towards Bathurst, where we stopped for lunch. The first cafe we went into.....the girl suggested that a cafe further up the street was much better (she used to work there) and we took her advice.
We continued driving for several more hours through Cowra, Young, Gundagai and finally Tumut.
The caravan park here has just been refurbished and is right on the river.....people sitting out the front of their sites fishing. Really a lovely park.

Our last night of housework free living for quite a while.....well at least until January and a week in Peterborough. All the comforts of home!!!!!!! contained in such a small space.

John, having worked in Tumut on several occasions, had to show me the sights. We then went to The Woolpack Hotel for tea and of course surprise, surprise the rugby between The Wallabies and Wales just happened to be on.
So to the final night of our trip....one last sleep so close to nature......tomorrow night home sweet home.

Lucky we finished our trip when we did because the CREB track, which we did, and many of the other tracks are flooded and could have left us stranded in Bamaga.
