Last weekend we headed down after work Friday to Tumut! We took Tony, as J was meant to come too but she got covid.. !!
We stayed in the caravan park which I've been wanting to stay at since the first time we went in 2020.
Yep, that's the Tumut River right there!
Gear dumped we headed for TRBC. They've got rather a nice path the whole way now, no scrambling up and down embankments anymore!
Except as I was telling the story of Tom Scott's last video I nearly stood on a snake (I was literally blind because I was focussed on Tom Scott flying with geese) and Stu grabbed me to stop me but it HURT!! And I never even saw the snake (it slithered off) because I was trying to figure out why I was suddenly being hurt.. :( Put me out of sorts all night. But thanks to the sweetie for saving my life anyway hehe.
Grabbed ourselves some beers (I had Volkslager Märzen and a Rose Gose) and ordered dinner.
We got a maple bacon and blue cheese, and something else but I forget what it was and I can't find it on their menu..
Also a house salad and the amazeballs
After dinner Tony and I went for a short walk to see the swamp
And saw All The Bats
Which look pretty trippy with the phone's long exposure..
Saturday. Slept like crap. Sigh. Tony and I went for a short walk while the sweetie got ready.
Then I cooked breakfast
The view from breakfast!
Some ducks came by hoping for a handout
After breakfast Tony and I went bridgespotting
For lunch we met up with Frank and Karen at the Oriental Hotel. I had salt and pepper squid.
Then the sweetie and I headed back to the van to chill for a bit.
Around 15:00 we went back and met up with the others to head down to the Tumut River Tap Days.
Unlike Sydney or Canberra festivals this one was pretty relaxed. Helps not having thousands and thousands of people. There wasn't a lot of shade left in front of the stage by the time we got there, which was ok because it was a bit loud anyway. So we went slightly further away and got ourselves setup.
There were several bands although they mostly played music I didn't know.
And half a dozen or so brewerys (Big Niles, Dalgety, Jindabyne, Squinters, Tuckerbox, Willie the Boatman and of course TRBC).
A couple of places did food (there was Indian, gozleme and TRBC were doing pizzas).
The only problem.. it was HOT! Over 30 degrees which wasn't ideal. But with a few cold beers we all had a lovely relaxed afternoon and evening!
Frank took this of Stu
We actually stayed til the end, which we weren't really expecting to do on account of sleeping so badly and it being so hot
Sunday. Slept somewhat better.
Cooked breakfast again.
The ducks came again
And I blew some bubbles
Then just cleaned up and came home.
