It was a long haul to Gilgandra and we arrived late afternoon. The campground/van park was right beside the highway but we were so tired that we didn’t even notice any traffic noise that night.<br />

After a good night’s sleep, we were on the familiar road to Goondwindi, which was another big day.<br />
<br />
From Goondwindi we decided to take a route through Millmerran to Dalby. We hadn’t been through this town before and we also wanted to see what the road was like as an alternative for the stretch between Dalby and Goondwindi.<br />

From there it was a quick lunch at Kumbia with reality setting in that the trip was all but over with the final push to home.<br />
<br />
Some stats for the trip:<br />
<ul>
<li>Total km - 3,861</li>
<li>Total fuel – 634.19 litres</li>
<li>Litres per 100 km – 16.4</li>
</ul>

It was nice to have a day just sitting around camp and nothing planned. You couldn’t have ordered better weather. Here are a few photos from around camp.<br />

<br />
Unfortunately, it was the day that we had to leave to start heading home . But before we did head off I had one last fly around with the drone . I was initially going to fly over to the large rock that stood out on top of the nearby ridge. I was still only new to flying the drone and getting use to controlling it. I made it to about 470m away from me and chickened out. It was still a long way over to the rock and because we were leaving this morning I couldn’t really afford to have it run out of battery and land so far away and then have to go searching for it. It will have to wait until another visit when I have a lot more experience. I am sure the rock is not going anywhere any time soon.<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Very hard to see but the large rock is centre of the photo on the horizon</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
I later worked out that I was still about 1.75km from getting to the rock. So I will definitely have to make sure that the battery is fully charged on the next attempt!<br />

I also had a very quick try at capturing photos that I could use to generate some spatial image products, ie georeferenced and 3D images. It didn’t turn out too bad for a first attempt. This is what is produced from 86 photos.<br />

The first location that we had thought of staying at was Three Mile Dam near the Mt Selwyn Ski Resort. Being school holidays and such a nice spot, all of the decent level sites were already taken. It was however a nice lunch stop.<br />

The next spot we were thinking of staying at was Yarrangobilly. We had stayed there overnight on a previous trip. It was a nice little spot right beside a stream. Unfortunately, again there were lots of people on the road so the only space left was too close to the highway.<br />
<br />
Next, we checked out the small township of Talbingo. It was a nice little spot but the van park was a bit too far away from the water.<br />
<br />

In the end we decided to just push on to Tumut as there was a nice van park there that was right on the river. We had stayed here a few years ago and loved it so we were looking forward to staying there again.<br />
<br />
We managed to get a site backing right onto the river. Because it was so nice we decided to stay an extra night so that we could have tomorrow as a bit of a rest day out of the vehicle before we did the long push for home.<br />
<br />
That night I also had a chance and time to experiment with some more night shots.<br />

We couldn’t come this far south without a visit to Thredbo Village. We decided to take more of a scenic route to Thredbo which we hadn’t travelled before. We headed to the small town of Dalgety.<br />

You couldn’t have ordered a more perfect day for visiting Thredbo. Because it was till Easter holidays it was unbelievably busy and hard to find a car park. This was due to how much the downhill mountain biking has taken off in the precinct. It is good to see that they have diversified and are not only reliant on winter activities. One day I might get game enough to try some of the downhill tracks, but we never seem to be in the region long enough to dedicate a day to it.<br />

We caught the chair lift to Eagles Nest and had some refreshments in the café before doing a quick walk around the area. About a week or so before our arrival there was a snow dump. Unfortunately, we just missed it but we did still manage to see some remnants.<br />

After a play in the left-over snow we headed back to the village for lunch at the Pub. It would have been quite easy to spend all afternoon on the deck of the Pub but we had to start heading home. The trip was timed perfectly because just as we were leaving the dark clouds that were building up as we were having lunch opened up. For half of the way back to Jindabyne we had the windscreen wipers on.<br />
<br />
We stopped in at Jindabyne to pick up some dinner from Woolies and then headed home for a nice cosy night by the lounge room fire place. Plus some more afternoon photos in the perfect light :-)<br />

It turned out to be a pretty cool night. It dropped to 2.5deg C! I hadn’t really noticed when I was out taking photos around the place even though I was still in a short sleeved shirt and shorts with only a vest jumper on. It was a great testament to the warming properties of the beer cloak! The morning was also just right for a few more photos!<br />

First activity for the morning was to test out the active tracking function of the drone. The drone was only a few weeks old so I hadn’t had an opportunity to test many of the functions at all yet. And there were plenty of willing participants to be tracked! But first some photos.</div>

After playing around with the active tracking for about half an hour some of Lisa and Ian’s friends were leaving so we tried to use the follow me function to film them leaving. I was riding pillion on the quad bike with the controller. The drone followed us for about 50 to 100m but I am not sure what happened after that. I am not sure if the controller that I had lost GPS signal or the drone lost a visual on us but it just stopped and hovered while we were still heading away from it. I finally realised that it wasn’t following us so I jumped off and tried to find it. By this time, I was about 500m away from it. By the time that I had run back towards its location the battery was getting very low and it initiated its return to home function. I was a bit worried about that as where it had initially taken off from was in amongst a few trees and buildings and I hadn’t really tested the return to home and obstacle avoidance functionality yet and didn’t really want too with a battery that was quickly running out. So I cancelled the return to home and just managed to find a flat clear spot in the tall grass to manually land it. Phew, crisis adverted!<br />

<br />
After that bit of excitement the rest of the morning was spent helping pack up everything as everyone had left or was leaving. It was only going to be us, Lisa and Nelson left for the next couple of days.<br />
<br />
We went into Cooma for a late lunch at “The Lot” café. We had found the café on a previous trip to Cooma but never really had a chance to stop in. Mental note, don’t go to a popular café on a day that is at the end of an extra long weekend! It was absolutely chock a block with people and hard to get a table. The whole town was busy. It was due to everyone is leaving Jindabyne, Thredbo and the other little towns in the region and heading back to Canberra and Sydney! Earlier in the morning we had already received reports from the first family that had left that there was a traffic jam going through the centre of Cooma.<br />
<br />
After lunch, we did a quick shop at Woolies to stock up on a few groceries before we headed around to a friend’s place for afternoon tea. We were catching up with some old friends from Rockhampton that we hadn’t seen for several years. It was great catching up with Tania and Gareth and to see how Gareth has been keeping himself busy with the never-ending house extensions. When we get around to visiting them again in a few years’ time it wouldn’t surprise me if Gareth had started building a second floor onto the house!<br />
<br />
After saying our goodbyes we headed back to Berridale and The Farm. We made it back just in time for me to try some afternoon drone photos and videos.<br />

<br />
With everyone gone, we spent the night inside the house with the inside fire going. While I was inspecting the drone footage of the day Jodie and Lisa caught up on sister stuff.<br />

<br />
The temperature only dropped down to 7.5 overnight, which was nice and cool but not cold, yet! It was a nice change. It was going to be another big day driving but I still had some time to get a few photos of the van park and the Lachlan River before we departed.<br />

From Forbes we headed to Grenfell, Young, Harden/Murrumburrah and towards Yass via the Hume highway briefly before jumping off it and heading south towards Canberra. We had been trying to take backroads for a while and certainly noticed the increase in traffic once we arrived in Yass. We decided to skirt around the outside of Canberra as much as possible and went through Tuggeranong. From there it was smooth sailing to Cooma and Berridale.<br />
<br />
We met up with Lisa and Ian in Berridale so that they could show us to the way to the farm because the in car navigation systems and even Google have trouble with their rural address. We had a quick meet and greet with everyone else that was there for Easter and started setting up camp with probably the biggest number of onlookers that we have ever had.<br />

<br />
It was getting late in the afternoon but we still had time for a quick tour of the boundary of the farm on the quad bike and a quick lesson in riding a motor bike. Toby Price has nothing to worry about and I think I will be sticking to quads! Riding the quad brought back great memories from the day we all went quad biking in the mountains two days before Lisa and Ians wedding. <a href="http://blog.sjbowden.com/2012/03/crackenback-trip-day-5.html" target="_blank">Here is the link to that page.</a><br />
<br />
While I was off playing on the mechanical toys Jodie took a few photos around the farm.<br />

That wasn’t the only fire that we had that night either. Luckily for us it was a nice still night and we could light up the big bonfire. With the big fire going and some good coals we decided to try a damper in the camp oven. We used Dwaynes recipe that he had success with on a recent boys trip to Kroombit Tops. In the process, I got schooled in how not to tell a pastry chef how to mix up flour and milk, (thanks for the warning Lisa!). It didn’t quite rise as much as Dwaynes damper did, but it was still pretty good! I am putting it down to Dwaynes secret ingredient, the mankie bandage on his finger that he nearly cut the top of off.</div>

As the night air temperature was dropping relatively quickly everyone filtered off to bed. That was my queue to start talking some night photos. It was the perfect night for it as there was hardly a cloud in the sky. </div>

<br />
We decided to do a quick trip south to one of our favourite regions of Australia, the Snowy Mountains, area over the Easter break. The main purpose was to visit some family and friends that we hadn’t seen for a while. It was still Queensland school holidays and Easter is traditionally a busy period on the roads, so we decided to make a start a day earlier than Good Friday to try and avoid some of the traffic. It also allowed us to take our time packing up and locking up the house. The aim of the first day was not to do big kilometres, but to just get on the road. We didn’t end up getting away until after lunch.<br />
<br />
We had a few options on where we thought we might like to get too. In the end, we made to the Stuart River free camp. It was a good spot as it took the pressure off getting to Goondwindi the next day as well.<br />

<a name='more'></a>Because we have done this route south a few times now on previous trips, we didn’t bother taking a lot of “on the road photos” of the towns etc that we passed through, and for the purposes of this write up I will compact multiple days into the one post as well.

<insert page="" trip="" url="">We arrived in Forbes just on dusk at about 5:45pm. It was a nice small little park on the banks of the Lachlan River. It also started getting cool early and it felt like it was going to be a cool night! We were at least cooler than what we had been in about the last 9 months anyway! It had felt like the Bundaberg minimum temps hadn’t really dropped below 20deg C for at least that length of time!</insert>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5195649661839860078.post-82350802705189958362017-04-15T17:51:00.001+10:002017-04-15T17:51:35.377+10:00Check-in/OK message from SPOT Steve and Jodie'sSteve and Jodie's

<b>Day 3 – 12th March 2017 Kroombit Tops to Home</b><br />
<br />
Again, it was a bit of a slow start as none of us really wanted to pack up and go home. After a never-ending supply of pancakes, mental note 1 less container of pancake mix for next time, we cleaned up and were packed up by about 10:30. On the way out we back tracked a couple of kilometres to check out the Razorback camp ground because we didn’t investigate it on the way in. It was a lot smaller area.<br />

<br />
We weren’t really rushing to get on the road. All that we had planned for today was to visit the “Beautiful Betsy” plane crash site, complete the 4wd loop and then visit the lookout. Nothing beats an early morning smouldering campfire in the crisp clean air topped off with the smell of bacon and eggs cooking!<br />

Jeff had a few practice runs with the drone to make sure it was all working ok before we departed for the day.<br />

We loaded up and headed off to the “Beautiful Betsy” plane crash site. The plane crashed in 1945 and laid undiscovered until 1994 when a National Parks Ranger found it. I won’t rehash all the info here but you can read it on the photos of the info signs. Eight people died in the crash. There was an eerie and sombre feeling about the place. I first visited the site in 2008 and it was good to see that the site is still pretty much the same.<br />

From there it was onto the start of the one way 4wd loop. From 2008 I remembered a steep rocky descent into the “The Wall” camp ground. So in preparation of filming the descent Jeff had a practice run with the drone as we were negotiating another descent.<br />

It was lucky that we did film this one as the descent to “The Wall” had been graded and there wasn’t a rock in sight and it was a smooth and easy descent, nothing like I remembered. Unfortunately, I didn’t have a photo from my 2008 trip to compare it with. But I do remember at the time while we were having lunch there a VW Touareg came down too fast as you could quite easily hear the traction control and hill descent function working overtime on the breaking system.<br />

The next planned stop was a lookout. In 2008, the only way we knew there might have been something interesting to see beside the track was due to a plastic bottle hanging from a tree beside the track. I was thinking it was going to be hard to find this spot again because the bottle was probably long gone. But not this time, the whole lookout area had been significantly thinned out. We weren’t sure whether it was due to storms or not but it looked like some big trees had come down which had taken a lot of others out as well.<br />

After more drone envy time, we packed up and headed off to complete the 4wd loop and head to the final lookout that also had a day use area. Because of the big bacon and egg breakfast none of us were overly hungry so we decided to have lunch at the day use area after some more drone action. There is way too much footage to post up so here is just a sample<br />

After packing up the drones and having lunch it was early afternoon. Not enough time to do the 13km escarpment bushwalk so we headed back to camp. We spent the rest of the afternoon discussing how those of us who didn’t have a drone could justify the purchase of one to our better halves over a few cold beers along with getting the fire ready for the night.<br />

<br />
Later that night Dwayne tried his hand at making his “magnificent” damper. He had been talking it up so it had a lot to live up too. It was also the first time that he had tried to cook it in a camp oven on the fire. Well it certainly did live up to its reputation. So much so we made him cook another one just to make sure it wasn’t a fluke the first one turned out perfectly.<br />
