Well, the spirit moved during breakfast, the spirit of ‘Go North Greay Nomads’, and we obeyed.
It was only 214k to Longreach and we knew of the Apex Park, 2&1/2 k north west. Easy to find, it has toilets and 1 tap of drinking water. There are tress that obscure it from the road so as we turned in it was a case of ‘Oh my goodness’ there were about 99 already here!!! OK that doesn’t matter, there was still room for more, on this huge area of flat packed sand. We were able to get a site on the inside edge so are able to run our gray water out into the scrub & not have to bucket it out. There is a fee, wait for it..... $3 per night or $15 per week 👏👏👏👏
We started listening to another audiobook during the trip up, ‘Five Fires’ by Courtney Patterson, well we have laughed so much and are enjoying it to the extent that we even play it in the van, a disc when we have an hour.
The weather yesterday was perfection, at last no heater needed. To day has only been 23% and full cloud, Brian walked to town this morning and I made fried rice which was really enjoyed for midday.
We had a quick drive into town this afternoon and then went for happy hour with Ken & Robyn who were with us at Charleville. They are from Christchurch & now live in Brisbane. They have a lovely ‘Swift’ caravan, English built and very light weight. It’s a similar layout to ours without our slide out.
They are coming here tomorrow.
We plan to stay a week here & tomorrow temperature promises to be 27, & remain so for the week.
Well Brian has gone to bed, so I guess I will take my book & do likewise.
