Day 3. Nagambie.
Permalink  

Well woke up this morning and decided that Nagambie was where the needle was pointing. I had a lovely time in Korumburra and it was topped off by the CP have a roaring fire going in the camp kitchen, bell rang and there it was happy hour. The chap that is sort of the cleaner there was as funny as a fit with stories pertaining to many of the furry friends that reside in the camp kitchen roof. Refer to previous pics. Most of them were AO stories, but he was really funny. Met some lovely people there some were residents and some were blow ins like myself.

After deciding where to go this morning I spoke to a chap that was parked next to me and he suggested that I would probably be better off to go through the city and onto the Hume instead of trying to tackle the winding back roads. So off I set and actually made it through the city without any problems, in fact it was probably less stressful than in the car. I think that was because I had it sitting on 90k's, sat in the left lane and let the world pass me by. Out onto the ring road and then up the Hume. Decided at 0clock that a parking bay was the perfect stop for a drink and some fruit and then back on the road again.

I am staying at the Ngambie Leisure Park, right on the lake. $33pn powered site, water, dump point not too far away, and good clean amenties. I love this travelling caper so far, 30mins or less and I was all set up. I am not putting out the awning as it is so windy here and not having any guy ropes to anchor it not worth the risk. The weather is a little warmer but very overcast and blowy. Still it is that time of the year so really cannot expect perfection.

So now turning 58, I think I have finally found my next calling in life. My purpose is to be the GN I can be, and as a friend said today, a travelling Goddess. I love it, so I think that is a gift for my birthday the name of my MH when I eventually have one to call my own.

I feel so priviledged that I am able to pursue this lifestyle and for the wonderful people that I have met on the way. I remember wondering if lonlieness would be a constant companion, but no it is not going to accompany me at all I think, and if it does well I guess then I would have invited it along. Sorry letting the previous life as a life coach come through there.

Anyways all good and life is great so far.

Travel safe all.

Sharon, the travelling goddess. HEHEHEHe.

What a wonderful day here in Nagambie. Woke at 5 this morning to a chilly 8degrees, did a meditation and slept like a baby then until about 7. What a wonderful life it is. Seen the sun poking its head up so thought maybe I should also, it was so quiet and still outside, just beautiful, serenity. Went for a walk around the park, chatted to a few people, then horror of all horrors decided I had better do some house work. This consisted of 10mins or so, swept the floor put the washing on and well that was that done. Yippppeeee! Even had a visitor for breakfast. A fine feathered friend he was too.

 A girlfriend who lives in Kilmore came up for the day and it was great to catch up with her. We had lunch at the pub over looking the lake, very nice it was too and then back to the park. It is so quiet here at present and the weather is wonderful. Sunny skies, a slight breeze, Neil playing in the background, and well who could ask for more.

Now decision time again, I think I might head of to Echuca, tomorrow and have a poke around there again. It has been awhile since I have been there and have always loved the town and the wharf area. The morning will decide for me. All I know I am going to be very sad on Friday when I have to hand the keys back.

Yes, waking to the rising sun, the stillness of the morning and the invigorating smell of fresh air. It's a very special time of day that most city dwellers don't even know exists.

G'day  sounds like you were bred to be GN, likes us all. From the womb to the tomb, life is all about what is in between and everyday you wake up is the start of a new adventure, so enjoy

LIFE is a gift that can never be returned.

Cheers

Kev
