Today it’s time to leave the coast and head inland away from the rain, our destination today is the New England National Park. We stopped in Grafton for fuel and supplies, we found a nice shopping centre on the north side of town over this old bridge did our shopping, bought some gloves and an extra beanies. Jacky even persuaded me to buy a set of flannelette sheets as were expecting the National Park to be a little chilly. It is about 70 kms from Armidale where the forecast overnight temperature was going to be -4^oC. Thungutti campground was in a nice bush setting, there was even some firewood provided so once the tent was up we got the fire going and sat around the fire as the temperature dropped.
