On the road again, nice.
Left Adelong and went north via Tumblong to the Hume Hwy rather than the usual and more direct Snow Mountains Hwy to the Hume. Via Tumblong is just a few km longer but is not so hilly or busy. Fuelled up in Wagga paying $1.78. Some places $1.85.
Bunnings for some stuff then provisions at North Wagga Woollies. Wilks Park for the night. Don a BA volunteer who had worked for some time at Forbes BA with me was also camped there. We talked for a while, about BA of course.
Next day onto Narrandera. Free camped at Brewery Flats on the approach to town. Its beside the Newell Highway and road noise can be an issue for the light sleeper. Before setting up for the night I drove around town rubbernecking.
Having lived in Narrandera and operated the Lake Talbot Caravan Park I was keen to see what had changed since we left, finishing up after 7 years in 2010. Back then a large number of very large London Plain trees were at the end of their life span. Never a horticulturist I agonized about what species and what was the appropriate size to plant. Trees are not cheap and we needed about 20. It appears it all worked out for the best as this photo of some of the trees shows. They were once just saplings.
