Well today we are off to our usual holiday start. As always we took till today to get organised and were delayed further by a late delivery. Usually our deliveries arrive about 10am but just because we wanted to leave it didn’t arrive until 3.30pm. So we headed on our way to Melbourne at 3.35pm. It took us 3 hours to get to Liverpool about 126km. A very slow start. We started to look for accommodation at about 7pm and were surprised to find that their was no accommodation at Yass, Gundagai or Goulburn. We were quite amazed. We had 2 options. Travel off course by 30 mins each way and stay at Canberra or drive through to Albury. We managed to get a late checkin at Albury so that was decided. A late checkin of 12 midnight was it.The road was long, boring and wet but we arrive safely. We later found out that the Snake Gully Cup was being held at Gundagai that weekend, therefore explaining the lack of accommodation in the area.

“The Snake Gully Cup – Taking it’s name from the famous “Dad and Dave” radio program, the popularity, prizemoney and prestige of the Snake Gully Cup Carnival has grown dramatically in recent years, with thousands of racegoers converging each November on the picturesque Gundagai racecourse.

With two full race days, the popular fashions on the field, family fun and top sponsors, the Snake Gully Cup Carnival makes a great time to come and visit and enjoy Gundagai.”
