Binnaway Batlow and Tumut.

Stopped overnight at Binnaway, a nice camp spot close to the centre of town with power off a meter $2 for 3 hours, nice.  The day was hot so the A/C was well worth the $6.  Went on to Ponto Falls near Wellington and stayed 2 nights on the Macquarie River and used the SUP and paddled up and down the river, nice.  A night at Gooloogong before reaching Adelong.  Stopped at the Golden Gully CP and had a beer at the club then a wine after dinner at the pub.

Moved up to Batlow on Friday arvo and settled into the caravan park reacquainting myself with Penny the owner.  Had a BBQ and whiskey with Brad and Kelly and walked home before the rain started.  Saturday arvo playing the horses in the pub with Brad and the locals and then Sunday up to a lookout overlooking Blowering Dam from the Batlow side.  Smoke from the Victorian fires might be causing the haze in the photo.  It rained two days then cleared up as I was leaving for Tumut.


Camped at Jones Bridge on the Tumut river below Blowering Dam whilst having Dora serviced by Brad at his workshop in town.  The weather was really nice around 30 and light breeze.
