Pronounced 'Clack clack' Caravan Park, we pull in and stop at the office. We are staying 2 nights and have already booked and paid a deposit of the 1st night's rate - Roger has requested that we use our G'day Parks membership offer of a free night (after a certain amount of bookings - which we've achieved) for our 2nd night here. This causes a little confusion for the lady checking us in - but all works out as requested. We are allocated site 40, so we go to it and settle in. As we're staying 2 nights with power - we happily do our full set up. Once we are, I'm keen to drive into Corryong for our 1st look and to get something for a late lunch. Roger agreeable - he points out we can also go and collect our MFSRBF volunteer kits. We return from our drive into Corryong just before 5pm. Roger gets straight onto preparing for our tea, and I get onto putting 2 loads of washing on. We have our relaxing pre dinner drinks while waiting for the washing to be ready to hang out. I get the washing out on the caravan park's clothing and Roger continues to take care of our roast tea - chicken and vegetables in our BBQ. We enjoy our roast with gravy and some boiled vegetables. I use my Thermie to make us some custard for dessert. We tidy up and do our dishes. While Roger goes off to have his shower, I get enthused and make up a batch of Anzac biscuits. This caravan park is a beauty - it has a lovely modern camp kitchen with 2 ovens! After returning with my cooked biscuits, I tidy and do the dishes, Roger makes us a cuppa. Now relaxing before bed.
5/4/25 Saturday Get up with Roger at 8am. We have breakfast and get organised to go out for a drive, Roger relaxes reading until I'm ready (dishes and tidy up) - then we organise our eski to take food for us to have lunch out and about. We head off around 10am, and return here 2pm. We get our dry washing off the line for me to fold and pack away. We're relaxing about our camp when we get a call from Tegan. Nice to catch up with her - all is going well. Next I decide to make a batch of yoyo biscuits - then decide to make another batch, different recipe - as an opportunity to compare the results. Unfortunately, I stuffed up the icing on the 2nd batch - didn't put in enough icing sugar. Oh well, still might get an idea of which recipe we like best (one uses plain flour, the 2nd uses SR flour - 2nd one certainly makes more biscuits). By now it's tea time - so we reheat leftovers from last night's tea - roast chicken, vegetables and gravy. Roger has some yoghurt and banana for dessert. Roger goes and has his shower, I do our dishes. Now to relax until bedtime.Read more
