There has been intermittent light rain and drizzle today, with an overnight minimum temperature of 16° and a pleasant high of 24°. We had coffee in town, then found a replacement bath mat and foot stool for me in the cheap shops.
Yesterday, our car received two dents from a trolley in the Woolworths carpark. Anita noticed them when I drove back to our van. Fortunately, there was no further damage today.
I saw a sign to the Glen Innes Highlands Skywalk, so decided to investigate. This is located near the Standing Stones, and is not well signposted. The skywalk description is a gross exaggeration as there are three not-very-high viewing platforms. This was constructed with a $2 million grant from the State Government, supposedly to boost tourism. The views were good but not exceptional.
With the cooler weather, I was able to get some caravan jobs done. A new issue of rust on our wheel studs is probably due to the wet weather and fine dust generated by the waste disposal depot next to our caravan storage depot. I used a wire brush to remove the rust, then sprayed on some RP7 lubricant. I may need to come up with a longer-term solution if the rust recurs.
I remounted our carbon monoxide alarm and digital fridge thermometer on the wall using self-adhesive Velcro. When parked long-term in the hot sun, the glue on the Velcro fails.
Anita bleached our drains and flushed them with hot water. I packed away the drain hoses and fresh water hose ready for our departure tomorrow morning.
