We have been staying on the South Coast NSW, near Narooma at my folks place for a week. Decided to take the camper so we had a bit of our own space, and limited the kids trashing the house.
Had been drizzling up there for nearly 3 days straight , but easy to cope with.
Heading home today, we wanted to break up the 9+ hr drive with an overnight stop at a favourite spot near Marlo (East Gippsland)
As we drove down, the weather got wetter and wetter. A bit of horizontal rain and all.
We finally got out to Cape Conran Nat Park, and it had pretty much stopped raining. Amy and I deliberated for ages about whether to camp or not.
We thought 'let's be tough, we've got the setup, we'll be right', and after all it had stopped raining.
As we went to the office, another couple had got there first to cancel their last few days. As we stood on the veranda waiting, it felt cold, and a little shower started. We stared to imagine what we would do during the arvo........ We looked at each other and said.... "Let's get a cabin!!"
Drove back to Marlo, it stared raining.
Got in a very warm dry cabin, it stared pouring.
Set ourselves up, a fierce wind started, the rain was dumping, and it was hard to hear each other.
Ran out to the camper in a gortex to get beer and supplies. The ground was ankle deep water and rain coming in sideways!!!!
Gawd, did we dodge a bullet!!!!!!! Just imagine if those people didn't jump in front of us.... Miserable.
Sometime (not often) the decision to abandon the camper and get a cabin is well worth it!!!
Anyone else avoided a miserable scenario like this?
