This is our last week in Camden, we will be sorry to leave this lovely park and area. Today we decided to catch the ferry to Manly but the weather was wet and not great for site seeing plus Mike was having problems with his feet again. We had hoped to catch up with Paul and Chris in Manly but they couldn't get themselves organised. We spent the day at home  relaxing.

Time is running out so caught bus, train and ferry to Manly. The transport service is great and we arrived at Circular Quay relaxed and had a wonderful trip around the harbour to Manly.

Packing up today and then off to Narellan for fuel and groceries. We weren't able to park the truck in the car park so parked it in a side street and lo and behold my little eyes discovered a Quilt shop, had to pop in and have a look.

Off to Goulburn today via the Hume Highway. It was quite a scenic trip with plenty of up hill and down dale. The Caravan park is ordinary but we have a large area to ourselves. The first impressions of Goulburn are that it is a very old town and there doesn't seem to be money here even properties are quite cheap. 100 acres $190.000, house and all.

Entrance to Goulburn. A huge Merino Ram ( Wagin eat your heart out.)

Information centre was our first stop and then off to discover the War Memorial  way up on a hill overlooking the town. Some magnificent views of Goulburn and surrounding area. Checked out the huge prison and the NSW Police training centre.

 View from War Memorial out over South Goulburn.

Another glorious day and ideal for the bike. There was a  Motor bike Swap meeting at the showgrounds so stop off there first to have a look, crowds of people and lots of junk.

  

  

From there we headed out to Windellama for a country market, 36 ks later no markets, in fact no town so we proceeded to Tarago. Lovely ride through some lovely valleys and and some harsh country. We were amazed at the number of paddocks that still had their crop standing, rather dark but up right. We met another biking couple resting in the shade in Tarago so stopped to have a chat and some more rides were suggested. On the way home we discovered Wakefield Racing circuit and just by chance there was a race meeting on with Fiat cars of all shapes and sizes racing. We stayed for awhile but it got too hot so left and headed for the air con back at the van. There were several headers working in paddocks harvesting so not sure why they are so late taking their crop off.
