The rain continued on and off but was never heavy. After breakfast we drove to town to refuel and buy groceries. Our first stop was the bakery for coffee and snacks. Bluey had to wear his raincoat.
The rain didn’t encourage exploring Charleville. We had planned to have lunch out but reconsidered and enjoyed leftovers in the Bushtracker. We availed ourselves of the toilets behind the museum.
There are no clothes dryers at our caravan park because it doesn’t normally rain here very much. We did a load of washing hanging it inside the van where it took two days to dry.

Tonight’s concert was to be put on by Roadies so there was unusual activity with people rehearsing and dressing up. Our dinner was prepared by park staff – boiled potatoes with bolognese sauce, sour cream and grated cheese, followed by a selection of desserts. I chose a rich cheesecake which was tasty, and took Anita’s dessert back to the van for later.
A couple of the Roadies’ acts were very good with one or two cringeworthy. At the end of the show Beccy announced this would be the last ARC tour. She has to close the business before the divorce property settlement. She is very keen to restart a similar business so we can look forward to that. The Roadies were very supportive of Beccy and understood why she has to do this.
