• Apex Park Overflow

    18–19 июл. 2024, Австралия ⋅ ☀️ 18 °C

    Arrive and find Darren and Kris have selected a spot with heaps of space for us to camp in beside them (as we've been doing for a while now). Set ourselves up - cuppa time and great time to make some calls to catch up with loved ones....
    Next get ready to be picked up by a courtesy bus for our evening cruise - it will collect us at 4.30pm.
    Bus collects us (abit later than stated) and takes us at most 2kms to where we'll board the paddle boat. Can tell by the lovely banter from our young bus driver Will, who tells us he'll also be on our cruise, that tonight should be fun. It certainly was! The captain was an older gentleman who had plenty of stories to tell. After the cruise we were seated around a beaut campfire and entertained and feed a beaut 2 course meal, Beef stew with mash and bread, followed by apple dessert with custard. Plenty of food and yummy. Next we're taken to a outdoor screen and comfortably seated to watch a film about Captain Starlight, a cattle rustler. Enjoyable too, this is followed by returning to the campfire area for tea,coffee and damper (freshly cooked in camp ovens in front of us) smothered in golden syrup 🤗🙂 Bus then drops us off back at campground. So cold we call it a night and retreat into our caravans with heaters cranked up! Shower time for Rog. Bedtime.
    Friday morning sees us up early to get our battery set up looked at (Roger booked this in while we where at Winton). Roger has his Weetbix for breakfast, I hold off on this - will have mine in Longreach. Say our goodbyes to Darren and Kris, they are heading in a different direction now - homeward bound for Tasmania. Been so beaut travelling with them, kind and generous folk we've enjoyed getting to know - promise to keep in touch.
    Get the ute and caravan to Auto Electrician shop well before 8am.
