We rose to an unusual silence….Its official, LR Has Laryngitis (We always manage to pick some bug up just before the school holidays) All be it much more peacefull for travel; we were only going 20min up the road. We parked the beast on a side street after googling the closest spot for a large caravan, and made a curtain we arrived before the crowds. Unfortunately, that also meant before all the entertainment started.
The flowers were beautiful, the car show a treat and the fair grounds a reasonable amount of fun, but overall the whole event was largely a glorified Country show. Mind you we didn’t go into the food festival section as it was a bit pricey for an hour or two visit.

We settled on staying at Gordon Park but missed out on the Museum, and spend the afternoon walking the creek and drawing with my daughter.
- We payed a fortune for the caravan and can’t afford to do anything else LOL
- The FREE camps we use are usually quite, in remote places right in with nature for the full experience with the wildlife
- Caravan parks in school holidays mostly require 2 to 7 nights stay for a booking
