Day 23

Date:- 5 April 2010
Distance:- 32.20 Km
Distance to Date:- 1010.6 Km
Start:- Bungandore
Finish:- Sutton
Comment:- Up about 7am this morning and rang Evon to bring extra stuff when she comes. Had breakfast and packed up taking my time because I only have about 30km to reach my destination.

On the road by 9.30am. A gentle 2km hill before Smiths Gap, a climb uphill for about 1 km, and it was steep, but what a view.

About 7 km out of Bungandore I made a left turn for Sutton Had a 10km snack break today at Wamboi. Another 10Km before I turned onto the Federal Highway and found Sutton

I arrived in the township of Sutton and set about trying to find our caravan park. I finally found someone to ask, only to be told I had to back track to the highway, take the service road and it will be on your left about 5km away.

Checked in at the office, found a site, set up camp, had a very nice shower and then I was going to organise my meals from the mini mart at the caravan park. Alas the office closed at 1pm on public holidays so I rode my bike about 1.5 km to the local convenience store, got what I wanted and back to camp.

All in all it has been quite a pleasant day, sun shining, light southerly wind good roads and surprisingly light traffic.

I will be taking the next five days off to spend with Evon and our Australian friends we met in Canada. I am looking forward to our reunion and sight seeing around Canberra
