PUTTY ROAD NSW


Exactly half way between Singleton and Windsor there is a new cafe called GREY GUM CAFE.

These people have put a lot of time, money and effort into their dream. John and Kim Grace are a retired couple who wanted to provide a service for the travelling public INCLUDING us Nomads.

They have 26 acres where you can park your van for up to 48 Hours and it's FREE.

There are a couple of very large brassiers and fire wood is supplied.

The amenities are spotless and for a nominal fee you can have as many hot showers as you would care to have.

They do really nice food, service with a smile and I can highly recommend a stop over there if you are in the area.

I did ask were they going to put in petrol bowsers and they said definitely NOT. Their aim was to provide a tranquil setting where people can get a good nights sleep if they are staying over and not be interupted by cars and trucks coming and going filling their tanks.

Well they certainly have provided a tranquil setting as Blue and I slept so well we even slept in and that's saying something for us.

Guys....is it anywhere near the old "Halfway House" Cafe which used to about the same distance from Singleton. They sold fuel,burgers, coffee etc and had a space for camping including hot showers.....haven`t been that way in a long time, so looks like a midweek trek tore-acquaint ourselves, me thinks.
