We had Beccy breakfasts and I helped with the dishes before we left Charleville. About halfway to Eulo is the tiny town of Wyandra where there is one shop-cum-post office-cum-cafe. The only coffee on offer was plunger or instant. My plunger decaf was undrinkable but it was worth $5 to visit the shop with it’s eclectic collection of items for sale, such as dog floatation vests.
We refuelled at Cunnamulla and joined up with our Roadie mates at Eulo in their 7 tonne motorhome. We led the way along the rutted, muddy road with a couple of cattle grids to add to the driving difficulties. We arrived at the Festival without mishap, but when driving to their allocated space, the 7 tonne motorhome got bogged with the back wheels going down.
The truck has levellers so they lifted the back while one of the Roadies dug out a lot of dirt and used 4 maxtrax to allow the motorhome to drive forward. They had to do this twice before being parked beside us. While all this was happening I looked after Anthony’s dog named North, who peed and pooped beside our van!
We walked to the festival stage arena to see Bec Hance do her show with Pete, Anthony and Mick (on Banjo and guitar).
We spent $20 to get internet access, but can only use it near the festival arena, as there is no coverage back at our van. At least I could catch up on my blogs! The connection at our Charleville caravan park was almost non existent.
Amber Joy Poulton is over her bout of Covid so was able to performlast night, with Kellie Brouhaha, Anthony Taylor and Pete Wilson. She was supposed to start at 8.30pm but her session did not start until 9.10. It was getting cold but I had rugged up Bluey on my lap to help keep me warm.
