Birdsville Tourist Park

Checked into the caravan park and settle ourselves into powered site No.13. Rain is steady and looks like its set in for a while.
I change the sheets in our van and Roger goes to get some of our washing started.
Lunch sees us in our caravan having toast, with peanut butter for me, honey for Roger.
Quiet day in the van as the rain is ongoing!
Fold up washing that has come out of the driers.
Tea tonight, Roger makes up another yummy sausage casserole. A couple of ports and its off to bed.
Sunday morning sees us get up and have our breakfast. Roger goes and puts another load of washing on - he decides he'll hang this lot to line dry as we have our fingers crossed the rain has stopped. During the morning while we're hanging around our caravan we get an invite via messenger to meet up with Kris and Darren for a cuppa at the Karrawa Wirinya Coffee. We accept and make a time of 10.40am. When we arrive we all find the Cafe is closed (even though online it stated it would be open until 12noon). End up going for a stroll together to see if we can find anywhere else - we can't so Kris and Darren come and have a cuppa at our caravan. On having lovely chat, decide to go in convoy to Boulia so they'll call past tomorrow around 10am for us to travel together. Darren and Kris head back to their caravan - staying in a parking area off Adelaide St. We go to the Roadhouse to top up our grocery supplies - cost 'an arm and a leg' as expected. Lunch back at our caravan, leftover reheated sausage casserole for me and a couple of banana sandwiches for Roger. I decide to use the Thermomix and make a couple of batches of biscuits while I have use of the Park's camp kitchen. Make Anzac biscuits and yoyos. Roger gets our washing sorted (dry and folded). We then go for a walk to check out Pelican Point - a lovely spot locals use for swimming, fishing, yabbying. On the way back I check out the Watti Walk beside the caravan park. Meet Roger back at our caravan and start getting ready to go to the Birdsville Hotel for tea. Head over there around 6pm - have meals to serve out in the Beer Garden. Roger has lasagne, salad & chips $36 and I have Slow cooked lamb shank with mash and vegetables $39. Very nice, but seems on the expensive side! Back to our van, Roger goes for a shower and I'm happy to get in my PJ's. Another evening relaxing in our van before bed.
Monday morning sees us getting up to a foggy overcast start - no rain. Have our usual breakies, then I head off for a shower. Roger gets into the preparations for us to move out of the caravan park. Do this around 9.40am, and pull up opposite the Roadhouse so we can get some frozen bread (we've decided we like this better than the Bakery bread!). Get a message from Kris and Darren, they're about to head to the Hardware and bakery so we go and meet up there. Change our UHF to channel 37 to be in contact together. Our 2 vehicle convoy underway heading Bedourie way 10.15am.Meer informatie
