Year off around Australia

Call into reception - they're offering a stay 4 nights pay for 3, sounds good to us when this works out $30 per night with power. We're allocated site 66 which is an easy drive through site at the back of the park, near the walkway to the beach. We go collect our ute and van from our walk and return to settle in. Roger tells me he read some reviews on this park - and a few weren't complimentary....Well we'll take it how we find it - after our set up, we walk about and check facilities - all good to us. No grumpy man in the office - elderly man who booked us in was lovely, yes the amenities are 'dated' but they're nice and clean, and we feel there is pride being taken about the place in keeping it's appearance nice.
We've unhitched the ute, so we drive to the General Store to get some groceries, and I buy some bubbles on good 'specials' along with a spoil of a 6pk cans of Matso Gingerbeer. Back at camp we unload, then make our lunch - usual - sandwiches for Roger, open toasties for me. Have a rest before getting into our bathers and heading off for a swim (dunk). Enjoy our time in the water, 1st spot Rocky Bay had plenty of inquisitive little fish swimming with us, nibbling at our feet and fingers- lovely clear water to watch them. The 2nd spot Dynamite Bay we swam in was deeper and where we went in was smoother sandy bottom - water not clear though. I got a cut on my foot in the first spot - rocks I guess - something sharp anyway!
We go back to camp and have showers (good ones with pressure, still short for Rog though). Relax before I make tea in the thermomix - a chicken pasta - using some of Roger's pasta sauce we brought along with us from home. Dessert is yoghurt and banana. Dishes and tidy up. Now relaxing. Rog reading, I'm writing this up, then updating our budget books before bed.
30/11/24 Saturday. We get up around 6.30am. I message Fiona Fitzgerald for her 53rd birthday - and thinking of Holly Langley with her 21st birthday today. We have our breakfast, then get organised to be out and about with a day trip to Jurien Bay. We leave just after 8am.
We return from our day out at around 4pm. Time to get into our bathers and walk to Rocky Bay for a swim - high tide, we don't get to see any fish this time. On return to campsite, we sit outside under our awning, that Rog has set up since we got back, and enjoy a couple of drinks. Matso Gingerbeer for me and XXXX for Rog. Next we have our showers, before we have some biccies and nibbles - cheese, sundried tomatoes and pickled baby cucumbers. Follow this with tea - our reheated chicken pasta. Now we've got time to walk back to the beach to watch the sunset - not the best as too much cloud about - but still a lovely thing to do. Back at our caravan we have dessert of blueberries, banana and yoghurt. Tidy up and relax before bed.
1/12/24 Sunday. Get up around 7am. It's Barb Purton and Tracey Gould birthdays today - so I message them both. Decide I'll go for a run this morning - Rog is keen to do a cooked breakfast - and will wait until I get back with a cuppa and good book. I enjoy my 6km shuffle along the 3 Bay trail and abit further along Anchorage Cove Beach. When I get back I get changed and help carry prepared food to camp kitchen for Roger to cook. While doing this we enjoy a whatsapp call from Tegan - all good. Once we've had breakfast and tidied up we go for a drive to check out Green Head's South Bay. When we return to our caravan, we get ready to walk to our favourite Cafe for lunch.
When we get back we get organised to walk to the Green Head Bowls Club - we're going to play social bowls.
Return from here around 7pm - too full to worry about getting tea - later, after relaxing, we have some fresh fruit and yoghurt. Roger goes and has his shower. I work on updating our budget books and this. Will try and see if I can get 1st episode of latest Muster Dogs series on ABC iView when I head to bed tonight. It's advertised that I should...
2/12/24 Monday. Wake up around 6am - stay in bed reading until 7am. Roger has gotten up 1st and had his breakfast. I get up and make my porridge and cuppa. It's washing day today - weather will be fine, so strip the bed, remake with the spare clean set of sheets. Gather up our dirty stuff and get 2 loads of washing going in the laundry here - dearest so far, $8 per load. Once we've got the washing out on the line, we go for a walk to the General Store so I can post our family Christmas cards and lollies and money to Frankie and Annabelle (Adam McClure's girls). Roger gets a box of beer and a couple of hose fittings. We return to our campsite for a relax. Roger planning ahead for our trip - map books are out. I realise I didn't get tracking with the parcel I sent this morning, so I go back to the shop to get it. Roger comes for the walk with me and we go to the other Cafe in Green Head first, to try it for a cuppa and snack. Not as good as good as the Gallery Cafe. Once I've got my parcel tracking sorted, we go for a walk about Green Head to find the Men's Shed - it is a beaut set up - closed today, but can see it's a substantial goer. Back to caravan to make up our lunch. Toasted sandwiches that we cook in the camp kitchen. During this time we're discussing about my Adelaide trip in February - to see Bryan Adams - going with Sharon. We decide it would save us 'running about' so much if I fly from Ceduna (return). So start the wheels in motion for this. Part of this is letting Martin Hayman know when we plan to get to Ceduna - where he's working at present. To have a stretch, Roger and I go for another walk in the afternoon - along the 3 Bay trail to enjoy the sea views and breeze. When we get back we get our washing in and sorted. I notice Martin has responded about our dates and mentions his living arrangements have changed. With some back and forth texting - I ask if I can ring for a chat - ends up he calls me/us. Sound like things haven't been going so smoothly his way - glad he rang to chat. I'm crossing my fingers he'll ring his parents soon - he said he will. Meanwhile Roger has our tea prepared - steak and salad. We follow this with fresh fruit salad and yoghurt. I do the dishes, Roger has his shower. Now relaxing before bed. Think I'll watch another episode of the latest Muster Dogs series.
3/12/24 Tuesday. Wake up 6am, read for a while and get up when Rog does, I head off to have a shower before my breakfast. On return, make my porridge and cuppa. Roger is getting us sorted ready to leave. I make a phone call to Travel and Cruise Ceduna to organise return flights between Ceduna and Adelaide - for me when I go to spend some time with Sharon and go see Bryan Adams together in February next year. We leave Green Head before 9am.Okumaya devam et
