Across 2 States and one Territory

It has been so long since my last posting because we have either had power or internet access but not both.
We really enjoyed our time in Canberra, even though we only stayed one night, we visited Parliament House and The War Memorial.

 We stayed at EPIC (Exhibition Park In Canberra) which is a great low-budget option when staying in our nations capital. It was absolutely freezing, and we woke up to a thick frost on the grass in the morning. Staying on a Friday night (20th July) was a good choice (a fluke on our part) as we woke up on Saturday morning to a fabulous Farmers Market, with plenty of fresh produce (fruit,veg and meat), fine foods (cakes, roasted nuts, handmade chocs, an array of continental delights) and good coffee. There were even performers for entertainment, which made for a lovely lazy Saturday morning, as it was only 100m from our caravan.
In the early afternoon we headed back towards the NSW coast and stayed in a van park just outside Bateman's Bay. We fired up the BBQ and cooked the pizza and snags we had bought that morning at the Farmers Market. They went down well with a glass of red (thanks Sharyn it was a beautiful blend) all on our classy melamine crockery.

We woke this morning to friendly quacking at our door, Jay was keen to feed our friends.



On Sunday we are headed off to a free campsite at Genoa, just across the Victorian border, so it's a big day of driving but we stopped off along the way at Narooma, which is such a scenic little town. We had a play in the park and the boys rode their scooters. There are so many little towns with quirky little shops along the way. We arrived at a free campsite in Genoa, Victoria on Sunday afternoon 22nd July 2012. No power or running water but it was a great adventure. We took short walks along the Genoa River and the old Genoa bridge.


We have since been to Buchan Caves where we stayed for 2 nights but that deserves it's own posting so I will add that in the next day or 2. Tonight we are heading to Bairnsdale.
