Day 21 - Moss Vale NSW - 03/11/2017

I am settled into the park at Moss Vale for tonight. It has been an interesting few days on the road. I have met still more amazing country people and have a list of camps worth stopping at between here and QLD.

After leaving Urana, I stayed one night at Boree Creek in the free camp behind the pub. Fantastic place, I was the only one there. It was Pizza night at the pub so I scoffed a supreme and several wines while chatting to the locals. I can thoroughly recommend this place and will stop in again when I am back down that way.

Junee was my next stopover. Again I was the only camper at the free camp at the golf club. It was quiet and I took time to go and visit the Chocolate & Licorice Factory (yummmm) and also the museum. Both are definitely worth a visit should you be in the area.

From there I went through Gundagai and onto the Hume. Two lanes thankfully, as I steadfastly drive the speed I feel comfy with given the conditions. Was an okay trip and I stopped the next night at Gunning. Now this is a pretty little spot on the map. Population of 1000, and a fantastic free camp near the hotel. Toilets and hot showers. By 8.00pm it was totally full of other campers.

Azzie has had another total 'cat' day, meaning she wouldn't look at me, talk to me, come near me lol. She doesn't like single night stops. Our 6 night stay at Urana spoiled her for regular travel, and if I must admit me too. Normally as I drive I will chat to her and she will offer various meows in reply. However, for the entire 220km trip to Gunning, she didn't make a sound. Nor would she look at me. I really knew she was NOT happy.

As always food will sort her out, plus snuggles when it is bed time. She finally dropped the 'you bitch' attitude and we had a good nights sleep. Today she was the opposite, about 40kms into our 115km trip she started vocalising. It may have been because the car and van was being buffeted quite a lot from the frightfully strong crosswinds. The car and van handled it well but it still makes for uncomfortable driving.

Tomorrow is supposed to be wet, so again it will be a slow and steady pace for us as we make our entry into the Sydney area. Already I am missing the country life, and sparse traffic. However, it will be worth it when I participate in the Walk for a Cure for Brain Cancer event at Centennial Park on Sunday.
