After breakfast I walked to the bakery before all the goodies were sold out. I then took Blue for a walk into town to do some washing at the laundromat. The caravan park laundry was busy, but I ended up back there as none of the laundromat dryers were working. There were periods of very light rain, enough to stop clothes drying on the line.
I walked back into town to explore parts I have not visited, such as this museum. I was too late to visit so will have to wait until our next stopover in Mitchell.
I managed to look through the western clothing store and not buy anything. There are many unoccupied shops and dilapidated buildings. Even the shire council buildings are fenced off and no longer occupied.
With flooding rain predicted for parts of Queensland, I noted the 2012 flood height of the Maranoa River at the Warrego Hwy bridge. Most of our caravan park would have been inundated during that flood as was much of Mitchell. The river flowed over the bridge at the top of the safety railing.
Beccy implemented her wet weather plan for our concert, and we gathered at the golf club. I had not unhooked the car from the Bushtracker so decided to walk to the golf club instead of catching a ride. There was only slight drizzle.
Anthony Taylor was our entertainer, backed by Pete Wilson and Kelly Brouhaha. Little Fancy needed entertaining while Anthony was singing some quiet numbers. I showed her my videos of Blue and Tilly playing together, but she liked them so much she was laughing loudly. I persuaded her to sit on my lap and she soon fell asleep, but every time the Roadies applauded she woke enough to clap then went back to sleep.
I walked back to our caravan park with two other Roadies who wanted to stretch their legs. I totalled about 16,000 steps with my four walks to and from town.
