Well, today we are heading home. How to time it so we are not driving through Campbelltown to Gosford during peak times. We either had to leave at 8am of wait until about 1pm. It was such a beautiful day we decided to go for a walk first around Lake Jindabyne. Once we were packed up it was about 10am and we enjoyed a pleasant stroll around the Lake towards the town centre. It was so still and peaceful. A lovely way to start the day. We walked about 8km and learnt a little about the area. The Old town of Jindabyne is actually under the lake, it was flooded and  dammed as part of the Snowy River Hydro Electric scheme. We also saw a few monuments and some interesting seats and sculptures along the way. Many of the seats were made from old chairlift seats. It was a beautiful foreshore and a most enjoyable walk.

We headed off home at midday knowing we needed to make a few stops to ensure we didn’t hit the peak traffic, so instead of swapping at quick pitstops we enjoyed a leisurely lunch at Mt Gladstone lookout, then another stop for dinner, as well as a petrol stop and a couple of driver changes. We also came to a complete stop just after Bargo with a car fire and another stop a little further on with a breakdown. DB was annoyed he was paying tolls and was stationary a couple of times. Oh well. We reached Wahroonga at about 7pm and the traffic was still quite consistent. I was happy to be a passenger. David spoils me a lot, I only drove where there was dual lanes and the best spot between Canberra and Pheasants Nest. I have also been spoilt most of the holiday as I have done very little driving in between the trip to Melbourne and the trip home from Melbourne.

We are now home and have had an amazing adventure. I hope you have enjoyed sharing our travels. See you all soon. Love Fiona and David xxx
