Leading you all astray with the header - we spent 4 days at Mt Panorama - watching the motor racing, visiting the museum, checking out the various marques in the pits and socialising with the Winnebago crowd.
It was our first trip away with the Winnebago club and we definitely had a good time. The camping spot was fabulous - on Hell corner at the end of the main straight with a great view of the pits and the track. The company was a good mix of experienced motor home travellers and new recruits, all kept (mostly) in control by the lovely Alannah from Winnebago. The organising was flexible enough to let us do our own thing most days and with a corporate box for the big race Sunday, we had the best seats in the house.
Saturday was great fun at the top of the mountain with some of the FV crowd, watching some very close racing across Skyline and down the hill.
Verdict? A definite change from our usual escapes to uncrowded national parks, but good company, good racing and a nice change to have power to run the air conditioning, it was too hot for comfort the first couple of days and the air con gave us a cool place to recover between races.
Even managed to find something alive to photograph :-) there were lots of these little mantises on the railings.
