Leaving Wee Jasper, a place you should visit with a 4WD.. or alternatively go in good weather and enjoy the dirt road experience, we made our way to Tumut then off to Tumbarumba. Cant describe in words the beautiful country we passed.
On the way we also had the amazing experience of stopping off at Batlow. If that rings a bell its where many of our apples come from.
Autumn in Batlow is beautiful with many trees changing their colours.
Next to Tumbaruba where Jay spent his younger years. ( or as Jay called it Tumba bloody rumba ).
This small country town was much nicer than I had pictured from his recollection but then again somehow Jay never appreciated places that were less than a million people.
Large B double semi trailers roar around the region indicating a large logging industry.

I got to do the drive by of his family home ( or maybe the more modern home that stands there now ) and that of his grandparents that he loved so dearly.
Next off to the Kosiosko National park via Mt Selwyn as it continues to rain.
A quick stop off at Australias highest town for some petrol at 1446 metres then off again.

Arriving at Three Mile Dam campsite we planned to stay at, a guy kindly walked up to our cars prior to us setting up for the night advising that 150 kids were about to arrive and hoped that wouldn't disturb us.
We decided to move on, to give them the space they needed, and drover further in the rain to our next destination. As the next campsite at Denison didn't have a loo, Ian decided we should move further on.
To both of our satisfaction, we then found a nice apartment on the water in a caravan park for a couple of nights until the rain goes away.
Wish the rain would stop
