MON 15.10.2012: Feeling somewhat jaded after last night (Madison - fresh as a daisy), we set off for Aberdeen (population 1,791). A feature of Aberdeen is the Glenbawn Dam completed in 1958. Located 7 miles upstream on the Hunter River above Aberdeen it covers an area of 3,000 acres. Travelled through some beautiful countryside - not difficult to determine the source of income relative to each area - mining, cattle, horse studs. Onward through Muswellbrook to Aberdeen. What more could you ask for, lunch at the Commercial Hotel, a park next door for Shayden to have his game and adjacent to the park - a dump point! We made our way to Burning Mountain Reserve Free Camp at Wingen. Drove in to a much more inviting venue and at the time only one other van. The couple spoke to us and advised that we had previously met them when travelling in Tasmania - remembered "Poodle Palace". Small world - perfect day!
