Goulburn via Bungendore

Stayed in another caravan park in Canberra for the last night we tried the Capital Country Van Park. They have about 100 permanents, school bunkhouses, cabins, caravans, tents and on and on. It is neat clean, pretty and quiet. There is heaps of wildlife in the form of roos, rabbits, geese, ducks and birdlife and we would recommend it. Packed up on a chilly morning and headed to Goulburn via Bungendore.

Bungendore is a lovely village about 30 minutes from Canberra, it is small, old and has lots of beautifully restored buildings, art, craft and cafes. We parked and wandered for about 2 hours, the blind duck cafe, photography exhibitions, leather shop and antiques shop that is huge it unfolds as you walk through - could have spent the day there, but gee would hate to have to do the dusting. Ross got the sneezes so we wandered on. The trees are turning orange and gold and red and the weather clear and crisp. Visited the quilting shop for Kate and the woodwork shop the men at school would die for - some excellent projects and ideas - Mark and Jay would have loved it - single test tubes held in turned wood for single bloom vases - have to try it Jay. But most of the items were well out of our budget - in the 10, 20 and even 30,000's - but gorgeous to look at. Late lunch in the park with a great coffee and on to Goulburn.
