Daisy goes for a road trip
Bizarre - October 18th, 2015 at 10:53 AM

Well - we are back from our holidays

Just did 3,200km's over the last couple of weeks.
Everything we wanted from a road trip - camping in State Forrests and eating in some REALLY cool country pubs

A few changes from the original itinerary - here is what we actually did
Carcoar Dam
Mirrool - free camping opposite pub
Mathoura - out at Edwards River (as Ian said)
Logan Pub - free camping out the back of pub
Halls gap - Plantation's Campsite
Echuca - Christies Beach
Rutherford - Doolan's Band
Jingellic - free camping opposite pub
Wee Jasper
Only real change was we were going to stay at Green Lake camp ground near Sea Lake.
What a dive - eaten by flies when we turned up. Amenities were like a scene from a cheap horror film.
Whatever - we just hooked off and ended up at the Logan Pub - and what a find that was

A couple of nights we were camped alone on the Murray and at other campsites a few nights there was 6 or so other campers.
Usually just one or 2 other campsites

The pub food was terrific. A few places didn't open for lunch on Monday or Tuesday - but wasnt hard to find another

Weather was perfect and the T3 didnt miss a beat. Got a tad under 9 km / L which for an auto aint too shabby

Our dog, Karsha, traveled really well. Most of the pubs welcomed her. A few were more than happy for here to come and sit beside us while we ate inside. We were the only people there.

Didnt see another T3 or kombi - but did find a pub with a great guy serving beers in a great pub at Dooen called Ryan. Anyway - he is another dubber on here and had just got back from Oldbar

Karsha was in heaven when we were trapped by sheep

Nice one Barry. Pubs, steak sandwiches, open roads, camping. Nirvana!
