Like so many small towns everybody is at work, you could fire a cannon down the main street mid morning and not hit anyone.

It is a sunny day but you can feel an Autumn nip in the wind, I think the maximum temperature was about 23°.

After lunch filled up with fuel then  went for a drive around the nearby town’s attractions which seem to be mainly beautifully painted water towers.

Actually driving was  generally quite pleasant on mainly deserted roads.

A few days away.

Was up early to connect the camper to the car and make a quick visit to the supermarket for bread even though I didn’t leave until 9am to avoid the traffic. Not a very successful ploy as the F6 crawled along until I reached Mount Ousley.

Set off under overcast skies which soon turned to rain by the time I reached the Hume hwy. Stopped briefly at Pheasants Nest to water proof the camper doors.

Pretty unevent full journey except for the terrible rain. but even that subsided after the Canberra  turn off. The weather went from this:

Hume Hwy 11am

To this:

Hume Hwy 12pm

Arrived at the Caravan Park at about 2.30pm so not a bad run. Quickly set up, the camper which took no time but the gazebo took a little longer as I manoeuvred it to cover the back of the camper just in case it rained.
