20th June 2018 Mount Surprise

We have had 3 days here at Planet Earth Caravan Park, lovely to be on grass again. We were here 3 years ago and stayed at ‘Bedrock Village’, this year we chose less $s and had a lovely site. Very friendly and helpful staff.
We had asked if anyone knew of someone who could put new hinges in our lift up bed and the assistant there was a real handyman. He was getting round on crutches because he had fallen in the campfire & had burns on both legs. But that didn’t stop him, Peter was a rough diamond and a very hard worker. We were most grateful.
There were 3 caravan parks , they all had food and souvenirs (sort of!) there was a small Fooardmart, a School, 2 fuel stations....naturally both had different prices....amazing! Also a small Gem store which is for sale. 
There are a number of Tours run from Bedrock Village and Brian went on one today 8am departure to ‘Undara Experience’. Look it up on the Internet it’s a tour through lava tubes that very formed during a volcanic eruption. It required fitness because of uneven rocks, rock steps including uneven rock steps with rope handrails. The only entry is with a guide. Brian arrived home about 5pm, exhausted and full of most interesting information. Morning & afternoon tea as well as lunch were included. He had to take any required medication, wear closed in footwear, take a jacket, water, camera and snacks! The whole experience was wonderful, the guide was a real professional woman, Swiss, who is a guide at a number of places around the world!.
I had the day at home, got the chores done a continued to enjoy my book. Oh and also went and had a nosy round Bedrock for old time sake & had a coffee & cake there.....well it was for my lunch!
Tomorrow, another place. 😀
