On the Road to Kangaroo Island.

Day 1. 
Today was a bit of a long slog. First one of 3 long, for us, days. 
The intention is to cover a bit of ground quickly and get into South Australia soonish. 3 days. Towing the caravan we don't travel fast, between 80 and 90 kph. Yes, we are THOSE annoying people!
We left home a bit later than intended due to not being totally organised. What a surprise! 
In our defence we've had a busy few days. 
We left home at 8.40 First stop, as usual, The Greenhouse in Nabiac for coffee. That's about 1 and a half hours away. 
Lunch at the new(ish) rest area at Branxton on the Golden Highway that goes up through the Hunter Valley. 
Quick stop and change of drivers at Cassilis rest area. Last time we were here early last year it was just after a bushfire and the whole place was decimated. 
It looks better now as the picnic tables and toilets have been replaced but the bush is slow to recover. We pushed on to Gulgong, to the showground and our first campsite.




We love the showground camping and community campsites in these country towns. It's the next best thing after National Park and reserves.

Distance: 548kms
Total time: 7hours 50 minutes.
