Day 18

18 February 2013

Was another chilly morning so we were slow to get moving again this morning but packed up and got back on the road towards Bateman's Bay. It is about a 4.5 hour drive from Oberon so we had planned to stop somewhere in Goulburn which is approx half way. I was hoping we may be able to stop somewhere near the Big Merino; however it was not on the road we were travelling and it is a bit too much hassle deviating just to see a big thing!

I had lunch ready and we had just gone through Goulburn and I noticed on Google Maps that there was Wakefield Park coming up on the road we were on, we were both busting to go to the loo and we figured surely a park would have toilets. We pulled off and turns out Wakefield Park is a V8 race track just outside of Goulburn! Joel was very impressed with this lunch break and they had toilets so I was happy! You seem to be able to just walk in and watch the cars and this seems to be a place you can buy one of those V8 experiences where you do hot laps with a driver or drive yourself. So some cars were absolutely hammering and others were Sunday driving (similar to the go kart weekend we had with work!)

We ate our lunch while watching the cars race around the track, it was quite a find! Unfortunately couldn't watch forever, had to keep making tracks to Bateman's Bay so jumped back in car and kept going.

Made it to Bateman's Bay and our destination Casey's Beach Holiday Park is actually in Batehaven (a little bit below Bateman's Bay) and directly across the road from Casey's Beach. I think we have done it again with picking a great location. The serenity again is pretty amazing, beautiful clear blue/green water, can't complain, and the park is really well looked after with a pool so plenty of places for us to get wet! And good news too we have now entered another coastal place with more coastal temps so it was a nice 31 degrees here which meant as soon as we pulled up we had to change out of our mountain gear (jeans and jumpers) and get into our summer gear again!

Went for a quick explore of BB, got some groceries, booked the car in for a service tomorrow and came back to camp for a quick dip in the pool.

Now we are absolutely buggered and going to bed!
