Jamberoo to Mudgee ~ 13th July - 15th July 2010

We left Jamberoo at 10.50am yesterday for the start of our adventure. Our first destination - Mudgee. It took about 5 hours to reach the Mudgee Valley Caravan Park where we had booked for the first 2 nights. We set up the caravan and got the kids in their pyjamas and ready for an early tea of pumpkin soup. Zali ended up sleeping with Ange as the heavy rain and very strong winds set in for the night and the winds were that strong that Ange and I were up at midnight to take the awning of the caravan down. At several stages during the night we were awoken by the torrential rain and thought that the van might be off like Dorothy and Toto in the Wizard of Oz. By morning of the 14th the rain had cleared but it was 12 degrees and after I took the kids into town for a quick look around whilst Ange slept in we had lunch and then went to a park in town where we all had a play except the boss who stayed in the car due to the temperature. After Ella was the recipient of some of Ange's great teaching skills we headed to my old favourite haunt of the Red Heifer for dinner .... and then home for bed.
