Gidday all,
Made
a new camel logo for the cab of Ned the truck, we think he looks smart.
After
we got the new batteries we headed back to Taplin and Deb. When we arrived, the
camels, Coco and Ziggy were home and greeted me with hugs, they obviously
remembered us and the truck. It was good to see them again.
Stayed
for a day or so, then headed out to the Sunset Murray National Park, just over
the border into Victoria. Came to the Shearers quarters camp ground, where we
camped the last time we went through a couple of years ago.
The
place was deserted so we set up camp and settled in. After a day or so we went
over to the quarters to have a look. The parks rent out the building for stays,
they charge too much though. One of the doors was open, so we went in for a
look. Very basic but comfortable with an old wood stove in the kitchen. Found the
keys to the shower block, so, never to let an opportunity pass by, we took
advantage of the situation and lit the gas hot water system and showered blissfully.
Only
saw about three lots of campers come and stay for a night then move on in the
week we stayed there. On about the third day a friendly ranger came in and had
a chat. We told him the door latch was broken on the quarters and he thanked us
for letting him know,and would get it fixed. Told him the shower was open too,
he said it was ok but lock it back up when we left. What a good bloke.
Had a
great, peaceful week there, with our own personal shower. The sunsets were wonderful
too. Had to leave on Monday as the park was being closed for two weeks as
shooters were coming in to cull roos and foxes.
Back
to Deb and work out our next move.
