After a cold start it turned out to be a good day for travelling, apart from a couple of idiot drivers. Sections of roadway have been damaged due to the combination of much rain and heavy trucks. We need to watch the road surface to avoid hitting potholes or rough bumps in the road.
We stopped at our favourite cafe in Uralla, the Alternate Root located in an attractive 1910 building originally built as a general store. As we had Blue with us we had to sit outside. Unfortunately the vanilla slice that Anita bought from Moons Bakery was disappointing. Traffic was increasing so we didn’t linger too long as we needed to get set up in Tamworth.
Our friends were already settled on their site and we were allocated the adjacent site close to the amenities. We had to level the Bushtracker with blocks of wood under the wheels on one side, and under the front support. The sloping site made it tricky to put up the awning with its privacy screens, so that job took longer than usual.
We caught up with our Roadie friends and made sure Blue and Tilly had lots of exercise. There is a lovely grassed area at the rear of the caravan park where Blue can have a run off his lead.
We had a quiet evening but I had to stop Blue from joining in while Tilly was playing with her toys. She needs a chance to play on her own terms.
