Well Queanbeyan NSW actually. We crossed the border into ACT this morning, then crossed back out into NSW!. We have to cross again into ACT to get to Canberra 10kms away - this is border madness. Anyway, we are set up in the caravan park with our fairy lights and Christmas tree with prezzies underneath ( I suspect most of them are for me ). This morning when we left Lake Jindabyne it was blowing a gale, and it was a slow and delicate trip up north. Tomorrow we will take it easy, and have a proper nosh in the evening.
Merry Christmas to all our family and friends.
Grandad Small died in Christchurch on Tuesday 22 Dec and Chris is flying from Sydney on Sunday for Grandad's funeral - very sad. I will stay here for a week and then move the van down to Sydney where Chris will rejoin the expedition.
25th Dec.
Started raining overnight which drove the permanent resident noisy drunks inside at
3am. Rained all day so we stayed inside the van most of the day and tidied up etc. Had a nice Christmas dinner in the evening; ham, smoked chicken, spuds with our own mint, peas, washed down with a nice cold bottle of Crouchen Reisling, and followed by plum pudding and fresh cream. The rain kept the morons inside their dirty unkempt vans which was a bonus.
