After returning from
Vanuatu we took another short journey, to somewhere completely different yet delightful in its own way.
Ruwenzori is a secluded bush retreat not far from Mudgee in central New South Wales. It consists of several 100 year old train carriages, restored to provide self-contained accommodation. We've travelled on several sleeper trains over the years (such as the
Ocean in Canada, the
Ghan and the
Sunlander in Australia, and the
Eastern and Oriental Express in Asia) and it was good fun to stay on a stationary train!

The site also offers great bush walks. A wombat hole ...
... and more signs of wombats!
We can also recommend the local region. Gulgong has a huge and fascinating museum, while Mudgee has wineries and plenty of delicious local food.
