We drove to the Kingscliff market to buy a soughdough fruitloaf and some fruit and vegetables. For breakfast, we tried the Choux Box on Marine Parade. The coffee was good, as was the Bread Social sourdough toast.
I hadn’t packed spare shorts, so stopped at Vinnies to buy something to tide me over. A pair of red and white striped trousers caught my attention. I searched the brand name and found this photo. I cut them down to shorts.
Our friends live at Banora Point, a short drive from our caravan park. Their driveway is the steepest I have ever seen! To safely climb the concrete, I put the Toyota in 4WD low range! Walking the final few metres was awkward!
Our friends have challenging steep gardens but have created some attractive areas stabilising the slopes.
Lunch on the balcony was delightful. Bluey made himself at home and enjoyed a couple of tidbits after we had finished eating.
Back at camp, I topped up the water tanks. It takes a very long time to fill the potable tank, so I need to research the reason for this new problem. Tap water passes through two filters and an electronic sterilisation device, but filling should not take an hour or more.
We are surrounded by several large dogs, so Tilly has only had a couple of short periods outside on her lead. She has been very placid, enjoying some sun in the van.
I worked out why our our site was so cramped – the two women at the adjacent site have parked their van on the concrete slab intended to be the floor of their annex. Their car is parked where our van should be. When I pointed this out to them, they decided they would move their van on Monday as they will be here for four weeks. We are leaving tomorrow, so were definitely not moving earlier! The site markings need to be improved.
