Wee Jasper to Jugiong

1st to 8th February
After spending January circling Sydney whilst Kevin waited for the specialist to give his shoulder the all clear, we finally managed to point the camper southwest and head out for the big trip in February.

Wee Jasper was our first stop, camping on Micalong creek which feeds into Burinjuck dam. It's only about 60kms from Yass, with the last few km's windy and steep to get down into the valley.

We were the only ones camping there, so had the place to ourselves, hot & cold showers and flushing toilets.. luxury!




Wee Jasper is a well known fishing spot for Trout, and we saw at least half a dozen brown and rainbow trout as we walked along the creek banks. Didn't try fishing, they looked too clever... but the water was refreshing, and we swam in the creek each day.

After a few days we packed up and headed to Jugiong showground to drink champagne with Michelle and celebrate Phil's 'special' birthday. That afternoon and evening we had about 10mls of rain, didn't break the drought, but made packing up next day a muddy experience.
