First major stop on day 2 was at Snake Gully (Dog on the Tucker Box). Then it was off the main highway for a drive through the mountains to Cowra to see the remains of the only POW breakout on Australian soil. We also visited the Australian / Japanese war graves here before proceeding to our overnight stop at Parkes.
The Gundagai River Caravan Park, one of the better caravan parks we stayed at as far as the soft ground and laid back nature of the park. Would we stay there again? You bet! |
On day 2 we already had packing down to a fine art. We had even worked out one of the tables had to go on top of the tarp to stop it from billowing and destroying itself. |
Bouf even had a bit of a sit. |
A few hours later on and we were at Cowra, the site of the P.O.W. breakout. While we were there a coach load pulled up. But they were sorry. |
Rachael, Kieran, Andrew and Ambre have a look at some of the information at the cemetery. |
Parkes O'Nite Caravan Park. It wasn't bad here. The pool was a bonus even if it wasn't that warm. |
Campers facilities were pretty good. Well lit, good cooking facilities, plenty of tables and chairs. We had two sites but it was still way too small. In hindsight, we were spoiled at Gundagai. |
I don't know what Ambre was smiling about. She obviously didn't know what the boys had in mind. |
Who us, plan something against the rules? Never. Well hardly ever. |
Its not against the rules to drown Ambres is it. This one certainly looks as though it might need drowning. Ambres squeal lots when you try and drown them don't they. |
