Gismo Queen and her King

Cherrypool to Port Fairy - Thursday 20th August

A few drops of rain on rhe roof of the van last night, and the wind picked up so we were very lucky that it had been so mild while we were sitting in front of our campfire.

We put the heater on this morning and had morning cuppas in bed, although I opened the blinds and watched the river flow by. We had brekky, did the dishes, packed up amd were on the road just after 10am. 80km down the road, we drove through Hamilton, which is a decent sized town but we passed through. We chose to stop for morning tea in the small town of Macarthur (in keeping with the General Macarthur theme of recent travels!). It's a very quaint, old town with the original bluestone pub still trading after opening in 1859. We are big believers in supporting these small towns with some business as we travel through, and ironically later in the afternoon I read an article about the Macarthur Area Development Association welcoming RVers and the lengths they have gone to to encourage RVers to stop in their town. Something I'm trying to get our Council to endorse too!

We arrived in Port Fairy at lunchtime and chose a caravan park as close to the beach as possible. After set up, we were enjoying a light lunch in the sunshine out the front of our van, listening to an audio book. In the afternoon, we want for a walk along the rockwall above the beach (it was high tide, so we couldn't walk on the sand).
