We had thought that the caravan park in Gundagai was safe enough to leave it powered up on the fold-up table outside the van, and apparently that is usually true but once every 5 or 6 months some (unknown) teens come into the park and cause minor havoc by doing things like turning off everyone's power. Last night they turned on the sprinklers and knicked our fridge... and the breakfast within... AND a six pack of beer. Bugger!
Aside from the somewhat annoying start it proved to be a good day. After breakfast at McDonalds (not our original plan) we stopped by "The Dog on the Tuckerbox" just out of town and then headed towards Sydney, munching on freshly picked cherries for good measure. We left the Hume between Goulburn and Mittagong to take the Illawarra Highway towards Woollongong. This is a seriously pleasant drive through some rather lush countryside with some very pretty little towns along the way. We decided at Moss Vale to take the Tourist Road towards Nowra so we could visit the spectacular Fitzroy Falls, and then later had lunch at Kangaroo Valley Winery ... we lucked out and scored the opening day of the Cellar Door, so of course we had to buy a bottle of Voignier to have with lunch and another of Shiraz for later :)
Our days driving ended in Dapto (just south of Woollongong) to visit Libby's sister Maureen. A pleasant afternoon was had with family (and beer and wine), followed by dinner at the local Bowling Club. Tomorrow - Ole Sydney Town (and perhaps some camp fridge shopping along the way)

Those wicked teenagers!:)
I suppose it would not have been so bad if they had only taken the beer & not the whole fridge!
It all makes for a good story to tell of your adventures!
on the contrary!!
if only they had stolen only the fridge!!
