We left Warri Camping Reserve and drove through Bungendore on our way to Queanbeyan. Bungendore is a small town in the NSW Southern Tablelands. These days a lot of people live here and work in Queanbeyan or Canberra as the rents and homes are a lot more affordable and its not far to commute.
Its very touristy, with a lot of cafes, a beautiful wood works gallery (very expensive but apparently a lot of Govt Depts in Canberra come here and buy gifts for dignaturies), a fantastic leather shop with all sorts of leather goods for sale, the most amazing antiques shop which goes on and on forever - you finally find yourself outside with all these fantastic statues and old pieces of gates etc. An easy place to spend several hours just looking around. We had morning tea at the wood works cafe and had the biggest and most delicious scone I have ever had!
We drove on through to Queanbeyan and arrived at the camp site which is right in the middle of town alongside the river (which apparently floods often). The camp was booked out - they were turning away caravan after caravan while we were booking in (thankfully we had booked). Took us 3 goes to get on a site big enough for the van. After the space and freedom that comes with free camping this feels very claustrophobic - however its an end to a means and we won't be spending much time at the van over the next few days.
