On the move again and Wagga Wagga a place they named it twice was our next port of call. We arrived at a free camp called Wilks Park. Still feeling a bit stiff from yesterdays hike setting up took a bit longer than usual. All was good until the residents of a tent on the other side of the track woke up and started up, don't want to appear racist but the were indigenous folk. Abuse was hurled at his Misses and another bloke, then both parents started in on the kid and they weren't discreet about it, all verbal so the whole park could hear. We had been talking to another camper and they had told us that the night before the group in question had partied on till 4am in the morning, and had been quite loud. After just a little over an hour of these guys yelling at each other and anybody else who happened by, we unanimously made the decision to go to the showground for the night, before either one of us said something. Not the best camp but a lot quieter than it could have been.
After a good night sleep we hitched up the van and went to the RAAF Wagga Wagga Aviation Heritage Centre. We were greeted by a couple really friendly volunteers who were very passionate about their little museum, housed in what was the original RAAF Base Gate House. Outside is a static display of aircraft and inside the museum the rooms have remained the same as they were in the day including the cells. The rooms are now used to display each RAAF encounter since the First World War.
From yesterday's not so great start, thanks to the staff at the museum that were at some time serving members of the RAAF, we learnt a lot and left with good feelings from Wagga. Thanks guys and bye bye Wagga.
