After having a little chat to the stand in hosts ( about an hours worth ) we left Coolac and headed to Jugiong - not very far up the road , but that's where we'll stay tonight . If you look closely at this aerial shot , you'll see a lot of cars in and around the streets - it is a Sunday and must be a favourite spot for a Sunday Drive , the winery and hotel were flat out !
Making our way into the Showgrounds , we found a quiet spot right down the end , set up and had some lunch . The Murrumbidgee River flows alongside town and the highway isn't too far away either . The bridge over the river is in the process of being replaced , a new bridge is being started beside the old one .
Jugiong is a small village with a large Showground , and it gets quite a few travellers using the grounds, and spending a lot of cash in town . There would have been at least 50 vans & campers there overnight !
The opposite side of the river is used for crops & grazing .
After a walk around the grounds we sat back & watched the world go by , jets leaving jet trails caught my eye - there was a jet every 3 to 4 minutes - I guess they were from Melbourne & heading to Sydney or Brisbane .
That's it for today , here's a map link :- https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=1DgBeZyDHFuAMfGfTWmDYdsTlUedFKuK4&usp=sharing
