We had planned to stop the night at either Holbrook, home of the inland Submarine or Gundagai home of the Dog on the Tucker Box or Tackle Box as Soccer Boy likes to call it. We got to Holbrook with heavy rain and the caravan Park right next to the highway and decided to drive on. Most people use Gundagai as a toilet/petril stop, they may visit the dog on the Tackle box and have an Icecream. We like it here, its a nice little country town always clean with shops to poke around in, a golf course, the Murrumbidgee River and some beautiful old wooden railway bridges.
Last time we stayed at the Riverside Park that is, you guessed on the Murrumbidgee River with the Golf Course bordering it. This time we decided to give the other park a go. As we pulled into our site we couldn't help but laugh. The sites are drive through and all under cover. Imagine a extra long carport going sideways housing a row of caravans. Next to each site is an ensuit that you can choose to pay extra to use or not. Sheer luxarary if a little weird. No wet feet tonight going to the toilet block.
As is Red Elephant tradition we celebrated the end of our Holiday with a meal out. Its always a special thing as for the whole holiday we always make our own dinner. It just makes our dollars go further and keeps us on the road longer. So of to the local Gundagai pub we went, the Junior Red Elephants first Pub Meal. Mr Red Elelphant had a steak, the Juniors had Lasagne (not as good as Rob's) and I had Roast Pork with gravy and apple sauce and crackling it was yum. The Juniors then followed up with icecream and caramel topping. Soccer Boy had to keep a hold on his as a hungry man who had ridden his motorbike from Singleton was threatening to steal it. The man was part of a Bikie group who where from Maryborough QLD and where on their way to Phillip Island.
I hope it blows up a storm tonight so we can stay safe in our undercover caravan site.
