Started off the day to phone call at 5 am to say the wash down pump in the dairy had crapped itself, so on the phone at 8 o'clock found a new pump in Sale and got Stephen Karndinal to come to the rescue to pick it up and install it, all good by lunch time, thanks Stephen.
Off to town later in the morning, checked out the camping shop which was very good, and then had a look in the hobby shop it has a heap of spares for both of my rc trucks.
Teresa cooked up some cakes for avo tea and we enjoyed them with our neighbours Peter and Lyn.
Steak cooked on the pig, which was fantastic and a few drinks and yarns with our friends next door.Läs mer
Could you stay here for a month ? The answer is yes, would have to be one of the best parks we have stayed in yet, great people and the setting is just like being in the bush with all the conveniences. Started the pack up today as we are heading south tomorrow, went for the daily walk down to the lake and back to the shop for an ice cream, second game of the state of origin tonight so we will be with Peter and Lyn around the pig watching the bum sniffers.Läs mer
