Around Lake Cargelligo

20th November 2025

Distance : 54 km

First order of the day was to move to a different site. I waited until a particular one was vacated early then hitched up the camper and reversed into their old site.

After having some breakfast drove into town for milk and soft drink (thirsty work) and had a look around the town.

They have a railway walk along the old tracks.

In the same area is a statue of Mrs Foster showing her husband gold that she had found in the street now bearing her name.

Sat by the lake enjoying a surprisingly good coffee made at the bakery before going for a stroll.

The lake appears to have been affected by blue green algae though I could not see any and the ducks seemed quite happy.

Drove out to Curlew Waters many to look at the water management pumping station and weir but could not find it but it was a pleasant enough day out.

I never found the actual weir though I am sure I did last time I visited, am still snot sure if I am muddling up two separate places.

Returned to the caravan park in the afternoon and set up my awning to read my book  and have a beer in the shade. Am still undecided about spending another day here.
