Good morning daily

[supersparky]

T1, like yourself we do a fair bit of travelling in the dark. There are a couple of decent cafes in Gunning if you ever find yourself near there. Much cheaper than Jugiong. There are also a couple of donation camps there too. One at the s/gr which offers decent amenities and the other opposite the servo, but we have never stayed there.
I reckon that you are beyond there already, but you never know what you might need on the return trip.

I've noticed you like to camp beside the train lines. Any station car parks along the way?

[T1 Terry]

We have stayed at Gunning quite a few times in the past, not sure how we would go with the length of this rig though.
We are traveling at a different angle than one that would pass through either Jugiong or Gunning, but as you say, maybe on the return journey ... no idea, too far in the future Might even do the trip down the coast, haven't done that one since the Kombi days and Cuppa & Julie lived in the clouds above that power station.
Out through Broken Hill is another possible, although I'd really like more time for that one.

Margaret has mentioned quite often that there is a perfect camp spot between a major highway and a rail line Another popular one is on the outside of a bend where the trucks flash the headlights through the windows as they pass within inches of wiping the mirrors off

Morning everyone.
I kept my word and done nothing yesterday
That bloody gremlin was a pain
I think it stops members from being part of the forum family.not good.
Carol didn't have a win at bingo and lite on gossip .
Only three more days till lift off.
And all in daylight .
My take on Dave and T1, they don't use the motorhomes for a holiday, just a means to go to, in Dave's case.
To the rellies or Taggerty and back.
Where Lesley...and I travel to enjoy other places. Which we will be doing once herself is a bit better with things... health...
How's that for having nothing going on at home
Anyway keep safe in whatever way you use your motorhomes while on the road.

Good morning All. 9* here.
I am off for an annual rego check on the Terios this morning and then, this afternoon, an appointment with a new GP just to touch bases and get new medical prescriptions.

It feels like we are on holidays Bernie, been at least a few days in each place to look around ..... might be more we are accustomed to travelling in the dark and rain or both. To me, on holidays means you leave when you want and arrive when you want, sleep in if you want or up early if there is a really good reason
I do prefer to drive at night, less "Sunday drivers" on the road because driving at night requires concentration and eyes wide open, on coming vehicles can be seen early, although these newer headlights that seem to shine in the oncoming driver's eyes, rather than lighting up the road, are hard to handle after a while. Fortunately, they are generally off the road by around 9pm. Driving between 1am and 3am you have the road to yourself, trucks are off the road because of insurance demands as statistics show this is the most common time for truck accidents ....

Not down here, the log trucks do their travelling at night so no one sees them and the amount and quality of timber they are taking for woodchips. That's why we have so much road kill, the log truckies just plough through anything and because it's late at night, they fly through towns many at 100kph. We are sometimes on the road after midnight after a gig and log trucks are a menace, when I see one coming our way, know they won't dip their lights but blind you. So installed two sets of really bright LED spotlights and they quickly dip their lights when I switch those on, they turn the night into day and they react really fast because they can't see a thing ahead. Normal truckies are always courteous and dip their lights a long way off, but not log trucks.
