Jugiong to Coolamon

After a leisurely pack-up in Jugiong we travelled the short distance down the Hume Highway to the historic town of Gundagai. There is a quite new Woolies in town so we took the opportunity to stock up on provisions. A walk around town allowed us to take a close look at some of the historic buildings and the famous old timber road bridge, now sadly falling into disrepair.

From Gundagai it was time to head for Junee and the 'Must Do' of this part of the trip, a visit to the Licorice factory. After a thoughtful tasting session we left with an armful of their delicious, and healthy, products and our wallets quite a bit lighter. Everything produced at the Licorice factory is certified organic so we were very confident that our purchases would be good for us, especially the chocolate coated ginger and chocolate coated macadamias and chocolate coated licorice - right.

Our overnight stop for tonight was at the delightful little town of Coolamon. The small caravan park is right in the centre of town and has sparkling new amenities, shade, grassy sites, power and water for just $10 per night. All you do is visit the nearby newsagent, pay your money and collect a key for the amenities, this is really great value. The town is clean and obviously brimming with civic pride, and the time taken to stroll up and down both sides of the wide main street is well worth it.
