Taroom

We stayed here for two nights at a bush camp. The caravan park closed down as they went into receivership and the community set up this camp at the polo cross grounds. It was about one kilometre out of town, the toilets and showers were in container up off the ground five steps up, very clean and the showers were hot and we had power, everything that one could ask for, the cost was $15 a night.

This was one of the shower cubicles, plenty of hooks to hang clothes, towels and what have you. This was our first time at trying "free and low cost camping" anything that is under $20 a night comes under this category, It wont be our last.

It was a small town but with a chemist, a coffee place, butchers plus two small supermarkets. I bought a couple of meals of meat at the butchers, felt strange asking for two lamb chops but due to the small fridge and freezer, it had to be.

We found a look out and a plaque.

John Gilbert was killed here in 1844 when he was with Leichartd, (not sure of the spelling) but  he was a naturalist.
