Goulburn NSW Australia

On the way to Canberra today, we stopped in at Goulburn. Goulburn was Australia’s first inland settlement.

The town nowadays looks a little run down and I more than likely will drive past it in future. It still has the Big Marino though it’s been moved 800 meters from its original location.

Goulburn is the home to the NSW police academy. It’s sort of fitting that there is a large jail here also.

The Three Sisters Rock Formation

The Three Sisters Rock Formation The three sisters rock formation is about a 1-hour drive from Sydney to Katoomba in New South Wales, Australia. We travelled from Newcastle so it was approximately a 3 hour trip for us. Parking at the site is difficult and has parking meters which add to the unfriendliness of the place. It’s a great rock formation and very famous so it is worth going to see. You do not have to hike as there are viewing platforms though getting to a spot you can take a photo at is annoying. It is full of tourists and the tour buses just drop them directly at the viewing ramp and it really is very congested. Expect extreme temperatures. In Winter it’s bitterly cold with strong winds that freeze you to the core. In summer it’s so hot and fires often rage in the Blue Mountains. It’s definitely worth the trip but you will need patience. Shops are limited but locals obviously live there getting al they need from the area but I would search goog...

Newcastle caravan and camping show

Newcastle caravan and camping show I would have to say I’m pretty disappointed. Some great things to see but really could have just driven to Heatherbrae and seen all that was on offer without having to pay entry. The vans were inflated in price the the “show discount” brought them back to the normal price in my opinion. What a waste of a day and parking was a nightmare. Save your money and don’t go. You really see more going to the dealers site and I believe you will get a better deal. The show lacked variety of manufacturers and really it just had high end caravans. The camping gear is better at 4WD Supacentre. I’m not sure if this is the same as the Rose Hill show in Sydney so I won’t be bothering anyway.
