Somewhere nice to stay, Sydney to Albury?


We're on the thir day of our first trip and stayed at aAlstonville the first night, wwhich was lovely and Kempsey last night, which was not.  WWe'vehad a sslight change of plans, Russell's uncle died llast night,  so we need to stay closer to aAlbury for the next few days. Does anyone have a suggestion  of somewhere nice, economical or free and not too bloody hot, within 2-4 hours of Albury? 

Thnks in advance.

Julie a

i think you have to go a lot more than 2 hours from albury to escape the heat.

Jingellic , 1.5 hrs from Albury , on the Murray River , I think it's free and safe. Coming from Sydney , turn left at Holbrook ,about 45 k.

Cheers Hans.

The park at Gundagai is pretty good, 28 a night on the river. 190 k to Albury Bloody hard to find anyplace that wont be hot
Many years ago we stayed at a park in Albury near the showground, it was pretty good

Thanks a lot guys. We ended up stopping at Gosford as we were both too sore to keep driving. My Dr faxed pain killers, so we should be able to cope with the big drive to Albury tomorrow as the funeral is 10am Friday.

Thanks again for the advice.
Julie

Holbrook Caravan park is really good. Clean, neat, wonderful people run it or used to. The problem we had was the trucks and engine brakes coming into town or the trucks gearing up leaving town. All bloody night. That is no longer a problem as it is now bypassed. Haven't been there since it was finished. It didn't appear to be to far from town but Holbrook is still a lovely place.

Albury also has a really good Caravan Park right in town and once again because of the bypass, truck noise is not a problem.
