Armidale NSW

Well we have finally made it into NSW.  We arrived in Armidale via  Glen Innes in the afternoon. We booked into the Pembroke C/P just out of town. It is a lovely, well presented park especially with all the Autumn leaves around.  I have forgotten what Autumn leaves were like, it`s been so long since we have seen them. Very pretty with all the different colours. We decided to spend a week in Armidale so we could have a look around and get some things done.  Including new batteries for the immobiliser remotes on the tug and a new deep-cycle  battery to run the Engel in the back of the tug.  The previous one lasted about 5 years so that was not too bad.  Armidale is a large town in the New England area, and it is growing very quickly. The weather can be very cold during winter and they often have snow.

When we first arrived at the C/P we spotted another Keddy, but when we asked about it they told us it was in storage along with the tug.  It looked so lonely sitting there, especially next to a Bush-tracker.  LOL.
It was a lazy week for us as in the end we did not do much.  Trying to conserve costs.  Especially Diesel which was around $1.60 per litre.
Whilst we were in Armidale the temperatures dropped quite substantially, so the diesel heater and Reverse Cycle got a bit of a work out.  We use the R/C to bring up the temperature and then switch to the Diesel heater.  I prefer the latter as the R/C dries the air out to much.  But at least it works.  Next stop Little Styx River camp ground.
