We stayed two nights at the Lorne Station. Beccy put on breakfast with three different cooked options, and I helped with washing up the cutting boards, cooking utensils, and bain-maries.
I took a couple of photos of our caravan park. The dilapidated cabin is an example of the type of accommodation available for those not travelling with their own bed. One of our Roadie caravans was parked directly opposite the accumulated junk outside the caretaker’s cottage. I was glad our allocated site did not have this view as it would have got Anita down.
While we were stopped in Brewarrina on our way to Lightning Ridge, Beccy drove past in her bus which has been converted to be like a motorhome. What the photo doesn’t show is Beccy waving like a footy fan whose team just won the grand final!
I drove into Lightning Ridge to visit the Council’s RV dump site, that is a large septic tank! The lack of a dump site at a caravan park is worse than not having access to the internet.
My shopping list required a stop at the newsagent for papers, a cafe for take away coffee, the IGA for groceries, and a grotty service station for fuel. I am avoiding truck refuelling depots as the diesel bowsers are even more dusty than those at service stations. High flow pumps tend to have more diesel on the ground, and more dust on the nozzles.
Bluey’s fur has grown so I had to trim his paws so reduce the number of burrs and grass seeds he might pick up. He seemed pretty relaxed about this process. I edited me out of the photo as I was sitting next to our number plate.
I haven’t taken any decent photos of our travelling musicians, but downloaded this photo taken by Kelly showing Pete Wilson (Papa Pete), Bec Hance (Fancy Pants), and their daughter Calliope (Little Fancy) who turned three in April. Little Fancy has taken a liking to being on stage and having a microphone.
The lighting at the Bowlo the previous night was not very good, but this photo shows all of our musicians except Anthony Taylor who has a lovely resonating voice and great guitar skills.
