Roughin' it in a Bush Paradise.

Took off on a beautiful sunny Wednesday with no idea where we were going other than first stop Nerriga pub.

1st fight outside our home as I didn't read SS mind when he got out to check the van and I didn't flick on the blinkers & brakes. Bloody men!!! No worries all good from here on.

At the pub we heard about a free camp at Oallen Ford. What a beauty set up amongst the trees overlooking the upper Shoalhaven River. No tap water, no electricity, no toilets but we loved it.





Off we went exploring and came across heaps of wombat holes , one even had a wombat in it ( deadun that is!

 

 We headed off across the road and came across the absolute pick of camping spots right on a sandy bank on the river and the family who had that spot were leaving the next day. Naturally we got that spot. JUST MAGIC!!!

Now for the good stuff: Skinny Dipping ( but not so skinny!!) and doing what teenagers do but enough of that!

That night we had lobsters done on the BBQ with garlic butter, 2 bottles of red, and even entertainment by a local feral family who turned up in 2 utes full of kids and yobo parents. Country music blaring- even drowned out our Blues so off that went. Plenty of petrol on their camp fire, kids and Scrappy the dog racing around everywhere. It looked like a film clip by Jimmy Barnes " the riot at the Star Hotel"

Next day off to buy milk and more beer at a great little town Tarago. It has a top pub and would make a great bike ride out for a weekend. Anyone interested ? They have a band on the 1st Saturday of each month?

Just check out some of the beautiful scenery.

Maybe not so beautiful, but what a way to have a wash. It was bloody freezing!!!
