Joe is the 'Camp Host', I wish I could pass on his patter......for example: The first night is free, the second night is half the price, and the next two are the same as the first, and if you stay for the four nights you can go to the Caravan Park in town & have a powered site for $15 instead of $23!.
At high tide, there is Marlin fishing ( we are in the middle of a dessert!)
At 5pm is Happy Hour, but not just a casual 'drinking' time, it was a genuine large circle with a guest to talk to us. A man & his wife who coordinate Blaze Aid for norther Australia. Volunteers who are willing to donate time and expertise to go in their caravans and help isolated people on outlying properties, especially after fires, floods, earthquakes, and drought. It was most interesting. He did a week at Coonabarabran when we were there helping at my brothers farm. Laurie, who headed up that team still lives at my brothers farm & we had meals with him last month. Small world!
Back to yesterday, we went to the pub for tea, good grief, both our meals were double, they automaticly gave us a 'doggy' bag, and we had enough for our tea tonight!.
This morning we set out to sight see, such a lovely town, 'Richmond' an oasis in the dessert.
Such a lovely lake with beautiful children's play ground
On to the reconstructed early house from an outback station
Richmond is on the Dinosaur Trail, how about this for a garbage bin holder
I was a little scared at his one
It's OK, I'm safe!
Some things are explicit !
All the drive today was most unexciting....
Mile after mile, it's grazing land, but not many cattle. Quite a lot of road trains though.
All in all, a lovely day.
Message to self, watch for Crocodiles, and Marlin at night tide tomorrow !!!
