Port Minlacowie Camp

Maitland Showground Campground

8/5/2012  -  We had a light shower of rain this morning before we got up so that didn't bode well for the day.   We decided to move on from here with no definite place to stay for tonight.  We left at 9.40 and by then the wind had increased.  Minlaton looked quite nice with lots of shops and the van park looked quite good.  We were punching into a really strong head wind and needed to pull up for the day or we would use too much fuel so our next town was Maitland.  It is only a fairly small town but we ended up staying at the Showgrounds for $15 a night.  We washed the van which was good as it was covered in dust from the dirt roads we had travelled on yesterday and this morning.  Then we went for a walk down town to check it out.  It isn't very big so it didn't take us long but they do have a supermarket, butcher and baker.  We came back to camp, had lunch and did battle with Telstra.
