Copper Coast

As David and Bernice explained to us when they came and met us at the Visitor Centre - they'll be at an appointment (David - re: doctor for tests) and may not be home for a little while - but have encouraged us to come here when we're ready - so we settle in their back yard while they're away. What a lovely place they have - built here about 2 to 3 years ago - have it looking so lovely and established you'd think they'd been here longer than that.
They arrive home shortly after we have settled and happily give us the tour of their home and yard. We spend the rest of the day enjoying a lovely relax and catch up with David and Bernice. Neighbours (from about 500m away), Sandy and ??? stop by to say hello and have a drink before heading back to their own place. We then enjoy time in the backyard spa, before having a lamb roast with roast vegetables and gravy (boy Rog and I continue to be spoilt). David and Bernice have to have an early start in the morning (more appointments for David) so we call it a night at around 10pm.
Back to our caravan, Rog has a quick shower, I'm writing this up, then bedtime.
26/02/25 Wednesday. Stacy's RN Graduation today in Warrnambool - we've sent flowers and our best wishes - here's to wishing her a wonderful day as she deserves. I get up around 7.30am, have breakfast with Rog. Then decide to go for a walk - head to Moonta Bay Jetty - very nice. Roger stays and washes the ute etc. I get back and have a shower, Roger relaxing waiting for me to be ready to go for a drive to look about. Head off mid morning.
Return here 4pm. David and Bernice home from David's MRI (Adelaide) - David now has an afternoon appt 5pm with his local doctor for a 'stress test'. Bernice stays here while David goes off to do this, she has phonecalls etc she wants to make. Roger and I have another lovely relax in the spa bath (it is so good), before getting out to get tea ready. Our turn tonight - Roger's cooking chicken kievs and airfryer chips - while I make up a tossed garden salad. David arrives back - and we all enjoy this meal together. We follow with Drumstick icecreams we purchased. After tea tidy up, Denise and David teach us a card game they've been playing lately 'Five Crowns' - good fun, I'll definitely be buying this card game! We finish this game (13 hands) and decide we'll call it a night. Back in our caravan 10pm for Rog to have his shower, and I'm writing this up before bedtime.
27/02/25 Thursday. We get up to have our breakfast. Great to look out our caravan window and see David and Bernice enjoying a morning spa together while enjoying a cuppa. We go and sit out in their outdoor entertaining area to chat with them while we eat our breakfast. Once they've had their 20 minute spa they come and join us with their own breakfast. After we've all eaten, we decide to have a walk together before Rog and I get organised to leave. We walk to the Jetty and back - fantastic morning for it and includes some beach combing on the way (looking for sea glass for Bernice). Once we return I go have a shower ( in house - so lovely) and Roger gets the caravan tidied and ready to roll. We then have a cuppa with David and Bernice before going. Sad to leave - we've had a wonderful stay with lovely people at their beautiful home.Lue lisää
