Shepparton & Gundagai

Day 1 of our trip sees us leaving home in Melbourne and heading for Shepparton, where we’d booked into Park Lane Big4 Caravan Park, to catch up with friends, Gary & Shirley, for a dinner party at their place in Lifestyle Living. The next morning we also caught up with other friends, Gary & Lorraine, for breakfast at their place. What a lovely way to begin our journey.

The following day we left a very wet and overcast day in “Shepp” for Gundagai in NSW. Trusty old “wikicamps” helped us to find a nice little free camp called Morleys Creek RV Camp just outside of town. It rained all night!
