Friday September 9th saw us make our way East again towards Bathurst. The morning was threatening rain and windy. We traveled through Cowra and Blayney on route. The drive was beautiful with the green fields and a number of hills. Not the best for fuel economy with the wind and the hills making for hard work towing the caravan.
We arrived at the Bathurst Showgrounds before lunch and got setup in a site with some grass albeit wet. We avoided any trees as the wind was fairly strong and worse was forecast. The Showground does offer water and power sites for $25/night. The amenity block was one of the oldest we have seen and definitely needed some work/upgrades. Relatively clean so I'll give 2.5 Stars. The day was windy and cold so we pretty much stayed in the caravan. There was a large function on at the Showground that night so made for a bit of a noisy evening. There was also heavy rain and winds during the evening/night.
Unfortunately, Saturday was more of the same with intermittent rain throughout the day. We hunkered down inside the caravan and didn't get out to explore Bathurst. At least we had power for our heater and we were able to keep warm and dry. We'll have to give Bathurst another try in better weather but will probably look at a different campground. $25/night is fairly expensive for fairly average facilities to my way of thinking.
