Domestic Day

After feeding the critters, we took Bluey with us to Bread Social at Tweed Heads. There was no available outdoor seating, but there was a nearby bench seat, so we ordered takeaway and had breakfast in front of the locksmith shop. Since the locksmith was open, I had two new caravan keys cut.

Anita enjoyed her sausage roll, and my ham and cheese croissant was excellent. Coffee might have been good if it wasn’t too hot to drink! The mural is inside the shop.

We walked to see Greenmount Beach where a lot of preparations were underway for Cooly Rocks. The Gold Coast City Council is responsible for the signs prohibiting dogs from all southern beaches, including dogs on leads. It was a long walk to see the surf, and we couldn’t leave Bluey tied to the fence. I should have driven to nearby Duranbah Beach in Tweed Heads because it is dog friendly!

This is our last day on the road, so it was clean up and packing day. We can only park the van in our street for two hours, so have to be quick emptying the fridge and carrying everything inside. I put most of our clothes in bags on the back seat of the car so they can be unloaded later.

I made a list of things that need repairing or replacing in the Bushtracker. I managed to cross off one of those jobs by changing some hinges. The door under the kitchen sink had sloppy hinges, so I swapped them with the hinges on the smallest cupboard in the van. This seems to have worked, but can’t be confirmed until we have travelled on some rough roads!

A couple of caravans in the park are clearly here for Cooly Rocks On. The decorative vintage Viscount caravan has a tow vehicle and bicycle in matching colours.

A food van set up inside the front gate of the caravan park. The burgers were not very interesting, but saved Anita from having to cook dinner.
