Come back to this campground mid afternoon and settle ourselves on the same side we were on with Schmidtke's- just a bit further in.
I'm determined to catch up on our budgeting (hand written in books!) to make sure we're on track.... Not going to quite get that finished today, not able to log in to ME Bank to check off our grocery spending.
Relaxing here at camp, enjoy our tea of Chilli Con Carne on potato and watching the beautiful sunset. Roger has showered and we're going to have a cuppa and get to bed to read. Roger already asleep by the time I get to bed, and I decide to watch TV instead. Paramount + A Guilded Age Season 1 watched episodes 1 & 2.
Saturday morning sees us get up around 8am, have our breakfast, Weetbix for Roger, porridge for me. Then I shower and get prepared to go swimming later before wep come back to our caravan. We head off to Longreach to the Bakery to get some bread. Next Longreach Stockman's Hall of Fame.
Had a wonderful time here -took most of the day up so we reneged on going for a swim. Go do a decent grocery shop at the IGA supermarket before heading back to our campsite. Next went for a walk and checked out Apex Park amenities - lovely undercover area beside the river with toilets and BBQ's. Then relax until tea preparation, nice and easy, bought cooked chook and stri fry vegetables. Roger has his shower, off to bed. I get in bed and watch more A Guilded Age S1 Ep 3,4 & 5. Goodnight.
Sunday morning sees us pottering around, have breakfast, then I get on my mobile to pay a couple of bills....on checking Rog's MyGov account - get a shock to discover we are are overdue on a tax payment required for 22/23 year. This sends me in a 'fluster' and I get sidetracked while I muck up my own MyGov accessibility as I try to check on it to get a full understanding where we are at with ATO. In the end decide it's a Sunday - no use trying to contact anyone about the overdue amount, so get back to organising what we're up to for the day....I suggested a walk in Longreach, Roger already has the caravan ready to move on out, so we drive into town, park in the RV parking area again, and go for a walk along the Botanic Walk. Do around 5kms and end up walking back past the Merino Bakery to get some more fresh bread. Back to our caravan to make up sandwiches for our lunch. We decide to head to Ilfracombe to try out their Artesian Spa...off we drive....Read more
