Mudgee Day Trips & Wine Tasting: A Tiny Camper’s Adventure

From the comfort of Camp Blackman, we ventured off to Mudgee for the day, an easy trip with a couple of memorable stops. First up was an emu farm—though not the most common stop, it was a quirky little experience! We then swung by a local cheese shop at Mendooran, though, unfortunately, they were all out of cheese this time.

Yes, we eat our national emblem, but we are not alone.

We set up camp at the Mudgee Showground, where we found a couple of free perks: laundry and showers. After taking advantage of both, we popped into town for a grocery top-up and settled in for an early night.

The next day started with a brisk jog around the blocks before the day really began with one of the best coffees I’ve had in a while at Mr. X. We then set off for some wine and spirit tasting. Mudgee's wine region didn’t disappoint, and we even tried the local Mudgee Negroni—though a bit sweet for my taste! For dinner, we hit Roths Winebar and Cellar, for pizza and local flavour.

Our road trip continued next day with a long drive from Mudgee to Wollomombi, making a stop at the Drip for a very pleasant walk. and a quick stop in Gunnedah for lunch and topping off our water tanks with clean, filtered water just outside Armidale’s Bunnings—a steal at 100 litres for just $1.

Stunning.

We pulled into Wollomombi around 6:00 pm, ready for a night’s rest after a day of exploring. we were joined by a family of hungry possums.
