Day Seven

Well today is Friday and completes our first full week on the road. We got away from Premer quite early at 8am which is really 7am but are slowly getting used to the daylight saving time but it is still a bit strange sitting out at night at 8pm and still daylight.

From Premer we went south Coolah, Dunedoo and stopped at Gulgong and had lunch in a nice little bakery. Gulgong impresses with its quaint narrow street and it's old world charm with much of the town still in it's 18th century condition. The girls went shopping and us blokes went looking for the Museum which I had heard was a "must do" thing. You enter through what looks like a small corner shop and a whole world of acres of memorabilia and machinery of all sorts and sizes confronts you. Could have spent a whole day there but there who must be obeyed we waiting back at the motorhomes and we had to move on.

From Gulgong we went west to Wellington, quite an impressive town and then moved along the Molong road where Camp5 had three possible camps site listed and we intended to stop for the night. The "campsites" were an absolute disgrace, being nothing better than a patch of bitumen truckie stop and in our opinion should never be listed in a Camps Book. However it was stinking hot, the hottest day we had experienced so far so we pulled into a nice little caravan park at Molong and turned on the air-conditioning and soaked it up. Lots of others seemed to have the same idea and we had met quite a few nice fellow travellers.

Pleasantly cool this morning as I write this but no guarantee it will stay that way. We are now entering country neither of us have been in before so who knows what the day will bring.
