Summit to Sea


z2a.jpgz1a.jpg

A night was spent at Burning Mountain (Camps6 #187) and from there the intention was to go to Moonan Flat (Camps6 #189) but I couldn't find the caretaker to pay my fees or, more importantly, obtain a key for the shower - I really did need one at this stage!  NB Apparently they only charge $8.50/night for a powered site and it is a pleasant spot by a creek.  So I continued on to my main goal for the area, Barrington Tops, which was covered in snow!  Very pretty and while I had intended to camp there that night, the slush and mud soon changed my mind so I continued over the Range to spend the night at Copeland Reserve (Camps6 #359) near Gloucester, on the E side of the Range.   But I still needed a shower. 

The following day I went to #121, a day camp on the coast which listed showers amongst its virtues - nice spot but the showers were typical seaside affairs - cold water only and no screening whatsoever.  Lemon Tree is a pleasant and popular spot, with a netted swimming area, boat ramp and a few shops.   From here I headed back up the Hunter Valley, doing a quick hard left at Maitland at the "Market Today" sign pointing toward the showground.  It was as much a Boot Sale as a market, with stalls offering an assorted array of car and motorcycle parts.  With high hopes of obtaining a workshop manual for my Hi Ace, I was sadly informed that they are hard to come by.  As there was a Caravan Park nearby, I booked in for the night, had my first shower and before setting off today to explore the Hunter Valley, I'll have another!

Sounds like you are having a very diverse trip at the moment Loki - wasn't the snow amazing - we had snow on the Hume near Goulburn - looked really pretty on the ground under the wind farm near Gunning.

Keep on keeping on - might catch up one day.
