Day 30

Our pre retirement trial trip- day 30

The aim today was to complete the Coober Pedy Park Run. Job done ✔️

Both of us ran Park Run this morning, well one ran the other ran/walked the course 😜

And Justine is very excited.
She met a local (Tanya) at Park Run and learnt the filming that is happening in Coober Pedy is for Chris Hammer’s book Treasure and Dirt (our fav author). Can’t wait for the series to be released and when it is we’ll be looking out for the lady in the wheelchair (Tanya). So wish we were here for longer and could’ve been an extra 😥

More good news, we’ve identified the rattle that has been with us for a few days- a missing bolt from the bash plate! Quick trip to the hardware store and it’s all fixed 🤞🏻.
Whilst there we also bought the supplies recommended by Dave (the local we met yesterday) that would guarantee a successful opal fund 😜
But what absolutely made our day was the extremely kind local that saw our phone on the floor in front of the Ute and took it into the hardware store. It had been left on the bull bar as we made the mad dash through town to get to the store before it closed - how lucky are we, someone is definitely looking out for us 🥰
Unfortunately he didn’t stay around so we couldn’t thank him personally or buy him a drink

Beautiful sunrise to end the day at the Big Winch with fantastic views over the town

And SA’s only drive in cinema (located next to our caravan park) is showing Downtown Abbey tonightЧитать далее
