Our day started at the Village Bakery which has an extensive selection of breads, cakes and pastries. They even sliced our sourdough loaf. Breakfast and coffee were both good.
Anita bought groceries and I bought Blue two new coats and a bed in the hope he will stay in his crate – it worked. We needed food from Petbarn but inside the store Bluey was shaking, presumably because of the smells from other critters. Their dogwash was out of order so we took him to one in the Mitre 10 carpark. Not happy! While Anita was waiting in the pharmacy, I put one of his new coats on him and we sat in the back of the car to make sure he was warm and recovered from bathing trauma. He slept in this coat in his crate.
In earlier blogs I am sure I would have posted photos of the historic lattice railway bridge in Dubbo. It was built in 1884 with ironwork manufactured in Middlesborough England.
Back at the caravan park 20+ caravans and motorhomes had arrived. This group is on a 2 week tour with one of the caravan and motorhome clubs.
Bluey met our new neighbour Frankie, a black Moodle the same size as him. That friendship was short lived as Frankie tried to hump Bluey and wasn’t fussy which end he chose.
This park has been good in the past but obviously no additional bins or rubbish collection was organised over Easter when the park was full. A leaking hose at the dump site had made the ground muddy. There is an off leash dog park but we haven’t explored that yet.
We walked across to the Thai restaurant and had a lovely meal. The staff there are friendly and efficient. Back in our van I spent the evening crocheting with one eye on the TV.
