Arthur & Carol Stroud's Travels

There is a HUGE club at Euston to cater for the Vic gamblers. It has amazing facilities and all the gambling stuff, a motel and cabins and currently putting in a Motor Home Park. Nothing much else in the town though. We met the manager of the club Ray who gave us the grand tour and treated us to lunch. Very impressive and overlooking a lovely section of the Murray. He and his wife Mim are friends of friends we met at Casino.
We were actually in three states of this grand land in about 150 klms of travel.

The pictures are out of sink,I can't fix, you will have to sort it out yourself.

We went around there and found about 15 motorhomers all having a lovely time we stayed with them for 4 days till they all headed off on their trip to Sale Vic for the National Motor Home Rally. They were such a friendly lot and we really enjoyed their company.

What a lovely trip, Ken was so thrilled to see us and he looked very smart and spry.

I had not seen Ron for about 58 years. He and his wife Helen received us warmly and with such good humour. We had a wonderful experience getting to know and catchingup with each other

This storm was heading straight for us while we were climbing a mountain road, fortunately it split and parted around us just in time.

Lake Keepit is a large dam and with beautiful surrounds and is not far from Tamworth NSW. We spent a couple of weeks there and it was just lovely. There are wonderful camp sites and lots of ammenities for children. There was a fishing comp the first weekend we were there and lots of families camped all along the waterfront in the park. A couple of huge storms threatened but went around. About 50 boats went out in the fishing comp. We did'nt bother as we had tried and caught nothing. The bloke in the mankini was on a bucks weekend pre his wedding. He had a list of dares to complete, one was to wear the mankini all weekend.

Yes, it happened again we had a flat tire (shredded) on the trailer about midway on the
road from Armidale to Glen Innes at 1100m Above see level. We managed very efficiently (we have had quite a bit of practice of late) to change the wheel and will get a new tyre fitted tomorrow. It was a very scenic drive lots of lovely trees and masses of tree ferns. Couldn't stop to take pics and it was just luck that we found a pic stop and saw the tyre. We don't know just where it happened. It is a very steep and winding road. But all is well and on we go.

A couple more shots of Casino RV Village. The pool was great and the other pic is of one of the sites similar to where we were parked up.

The mini horses are just gorgeous. Mum and daughter shown here. The Koala lives in a bunch of gum trees just 50m from the house.

Pictured are the villiage common, the bbq hut (happy hour venue) one of the roads near us, one of the cottages. There is a lovely large swimming pool where I go to water aerobics most days, the club house is large and is the venue for several sytles of dancing, there are two golf courses, a big auditorium with pool tables and carpet bowls. All sorts of things going. We are enjoying the varied company.
