Nundle Trip

2 Couples arrived on Wednesday at Fossickers Tourist Park at Nundle. What a nice park and walking distance to town centre.

Thursday we had a drive to Tamworth, did some walking and had a scrumptous lunch at the Inland Cafe. On our drive back to camp we stopped at Dungowan to check out the old church, followed by roadside sculptures at Woolomin, then a stop at Chaffey Dam Lookout and a drive around the free camp ground. Toilets and coin showers and plenty of space to set up camp. Will have to keep this in the memory bank for latter.

Friday morning tea was held at Mount Misery Gold Mine Cafe. Delicious light scones with homemade jam and fresh whipped cream was selected by the guys with us ladies having the carrot cake and cheese cake with homemade passionfruit syrup. Friday afternoon the final couple arrived at the park. A late and chilly happy hour was had.

Saturday after bacon and egg brekky we decided to go for a drive to Sheba Dam and had a picnic lunch at Hanging Rock Lookout. What a view. Back to camp for a few games of Rummy King. That night we had an influx of rally cars and postie motorbikes in the park, a stop on their charity rally. All well behaved, but woke with ice on their motorbikes in the morning.

Sunday, Graham found something on market place he wanted, so off to Tamworth they went and came back with his #3 plane which was missing from his collection. Not an aeroplane but a wood working plane. Sunday night a farmer across the road decided to have a burn off resulting in everyone waking up to ash all over their cars and caravans. Not happy travellers at all.

Monday stroll to town for coffee and donuts on the corner, followed by a tour at the Nundle Woollen Mill with lots of items available for purchase. Very enlightening talk was given and machinery explained and demoed. Up to Mount Misery cafe for lunch. Another delicious meal. Back to camp to assist with some craft work before happy hour.

Tuesday one couple off to Quirindi to check out Bob's Shed while the rest of us relaxed. Time to start packing up ready for departure tomorrow.

It was a relaxing week with sunny days and very cool nights but most enjoyed by all who attended.
