Another short trip on Saturday and we are set up at Tarraleah. Not sure if this town has made the mainland news but the whole town is up for sale for $11 mil. Just a caravan park, holiday units, cafe, church, old school made into accommodation, pub, golf course and a few houses. Not sure what you would do with it other than try to attract tourists. You have to turn off the highway so it doesn't even get passing traffic. We are here for 2 nights. As we had 2 wet days then campsites without water there is a pile of washing so we are just going to sit here to catch up and hope it doesn't become crowded because of the long weekend and last weekend of school holidays. Only thing we have done is go for a drive to look at Tungatinah Hydro Power Station and across the Nive River the Tarraleah Hydro Power Station. We did a drive around town and found a lookout. It is a balcony on the side of another building for Tarraleah Hydro Power Station and overlooks the pipes running down to the Station we had just driven from. 10 minutes and everything was covered, although this is a good place to stay if you are marking time or need to catch up on washing. There were us and 2 other vans plus 3 tents here the first night. (Probably 20 powered sites and 30 tent sites). Sunday night there are us and 3 vans and 1 tent. Extremely quiet.
