Wednesday 23rd. April.
The free overnight camping area at the Hawkesbury River has become more of a long term parking area for boat trailers whose owners are presumably enjoying a camping holiday further up the river. All available parking spots except for one or two were occupied by vehicles with trailers attached in in most cases with a big yellow wheel clamp on the trailer wheel. There were only two other overnighters there and we were the last to depart at 8:00am.
Being the school holidays still the traffic was quite light on the F3 or the M1 as it is now known.
A similar situation regards light traffic on the M2, M7 and M4 as we made our way towards Katoomba. A morning tea stop and stretch for Gail somewhere in the Blue Mountains at a large roadside rest area, then on to Bathurst via Lithgow. Checked out two of the CMCA listed overnight rest areas, deciding that neither were all that acceptable.
We parked in a street near the CBD and did a bit of shopping, then continued on for a further twenty or so kilometres to Carcoar Dam where there is a very picturesque and roomy area overlooking the dam. There were about fifteen other caravans and motorhomes already set up when we arrived so we found a nice level grassy spot out in the open. Ran the generator for a while to preserve the battery for tonight. Distance covered today was 295 km's.
