Entrance to the St George Golf Course - the trees overhung the road so we drove over a fairway to park near the clubhouse.
Stayed an extra day enjoying Nindigully, the bushwalking and the river with its beautiful wildlife. While I washed clothes Chris bar-b-q'd steak with a delicious salad for lunch. Later in the afternoon we ventured over to the pub for happy hour and enjoyed $2.00 pots and fantastic entertainment from Adam Kirkpatrick (Slim Dusty's grandson). I will endeavour to add a video of one of the songs if I can. Anyway I'll give it a go who knows it may even work!
Wow it worked!
WEDNESDAY 18/05/2011: Said goodbye to Nindigully and travelled 44klms to St George, a very picturesque town built along the Balone River. Riverside Drive has beautiful picnic spots along the river bank. Once we filled our tanks with diesel, and water and ventured into the local IGA store to replenish food supplies we then crossed the river to the St George Golf Club. Our motorhome got through the entry gate and down the winding red dirt drive until we came to an area where the trees were arching beautifully across the drive and we couldn't get the motorhome any further without scraping the roof, so we stopped and walked up the drive, then appeared the greensman in his tractor to sus us out. When we told him 0f our predicament he said not to worry, just drive off the drive and onto the 10th fairway to by-pass the trees. We asked if we could have a game and where the pro shop was, he looked at us quizzically and told us that the clubhouse wasn't open and that it cost $10.00 and we could play all day and payment was an honesty system - just put your money in an envelope provided in the box on tee one where you will also find score cards. We got ourselves organized, I played while Chris caddied (his back still isn't up to golf yet)! Beautiful golf weather temp 26 degree. Fairways a little rough and the greens oil and sand. I would get to the green and if I was close to the flag add one shot and if I was further away add 2 shots. Enjoyed my game even though a crow took 2 of my balls. After the two balls being taken Chris would walk ahead of me and be ready to send the crow on his merry way if necessary. Stayed the night out beside a riverbank at the Beardmore Campsite.
Looks like you 2 are having a lovely time. Enjoy, but we are all missing you!
