The New Journey Begins In Jugiong

We set off later than planned due to the weather. However, we feel incredibly fortunate that even though we did have dreadful rain storms in Jamberoo for days, it was nothing compared to up north. How is what happened up there even possible? My heart goes out to everyone effected. Disgusted that the folk in need are still waiting for assistance. This country is lacking in disaster management planning and the leadership to ensure it occurs and is funded to the hilt. Grrr;

We considered not travelling but as Jayne said ‘what purpose would that serve’? We will help in any way we can and support our loved ones who are impacted.

Jugiong, just off the Hume Hwy an hour or so past Goulburn, has a low cost (gold coin) camping ground at the showground. Across form the showground is the Sir George Hotel and a lovely coffee shop. What more do you need?

We have always found it a top spot to begin a trip if we are heading that way.

The pub (Sir George) is lovely and the food is better than average. The alcohol is expensive, but you pay for the ambience I think. The outdoor area is very pretty and dog friendly - that suits us.

We woke to a stunning sunrise - see the FB pics - and headed to Adelong as planned. Well Adelong didn’t get the memo, and was not able to accommodate our vehicle, so we headed to Tumut to bunker down while a storm front approached.

The storm is about to hit and we are parked up at the Riverglade Caravan Park Tumut. Here’s hoping the storm is short and sweet. However, the weather lately is so bloody crazy who knows?

Signing off now. Talk soon!
