Our test run.

We are spending a week coming back from the beautiful Port Stephen’s. We high tailed it up there to a cousins wedding with the van on and did our first overnight stay in the truck stop at Gundagai. Then made it up there the next day. We stopped on our way past and saw the triplets. They are getting so big now. Had a great few days catching up with our family from Newcastle area and with brother, sister,in laws and nieces.
We then had a stop over with the triplets again. Then left on our test run.

What a challenge the first day was. A very learning experience that’s for sure. We left too late and didn’t allow time for steep hill climbing. When we got to our campsite we found out that it was closed due to vandalism. So on we went to the next one, Marys Campground Sunny Corner. We got there at 4pm so by the time we set up it was time to start cooking tea. We had no T.V service and very limited phone service. So poor Matt missed out on watching the Brownlow. Was a nice, very quiet spot, we were the only one’s there.

We packed up and were in Bathurst by 9.30am. We found a fantastic playground there where we let the ferals run free for a bit. Matt and I wanted to try our luck at Bathurst racetrack. Yep van and all. It was crazily steep. Steeper than we realise on T.V. How the hell do they do it at 150km plus. Crazy.

After the thrill of that we thought we’d head off to our next camp ground. Carcoar dam. What a beautiful spot. Toilets, cold showers and great views. There are about 20 other’s here with us. It’s a great spot. Looking over the dam there are some wind turbines. So we have been up and read some information on them. They are amazing being able turning position and blade’s position to get the most out of the wind.
Tonight is much better to last night. Hope our trip is more like this, as it will be perfect.

Will post the last part of our test run when we get home.
