Looking out on a grey day
Fog and Drizzle looking west from the park
Hi Folks,
A day of contrasts today. We awoke to a grey cool morning with a drizzle heavy enough to produce a stream of drips off the awning. We trudged around in the gloom trying not to tread too much mud into the tent. Susan returned to bed to read her novel whilst i provided breakfast in bed for her. A rare occurence!
However the cloud started to lift and by 12 we were under a cloudless sky and it was getting warm!
Executive decision.. enough warmth and breeze to dry the canvas so we will pack and sleep here tonight in the swag. Packing proceeded but a clash of priorities arose between having everything in its place (Susan) and getting the canvas packed in time to dry the pvc floor sheet and before the dew started to descend(Simon). Fortunately packing was completed by 630 and peace talks were held at the Leigh Creek Hotel which as previously mentioned is located in Copley. It was Schnitzel night a bargain at $10 and Susan consumed the best part of a bottle of Annies Lane Sauvignon Blanc. Being a responsible person i restricted myself to a couple of pints and a glass of wine so i could guide Susan back to the park :-).
Tomorrow we back track south to Peterborough to take the Barrier Highway to Broken Hill. Whether we get there in the day remains to be seen but we are on the move again!
If you get the chance to call in to Copley it is worth a visit and stay at the caravan park. The hosts Shirley and David are terrific. One unique thing is they light a campfire every night. Copley Caravan Park
cheers Simon
Pam and I had a similar experience in the early nineties, rained in at Maree on our way to central Queensland. Had to backtrack just as you are doing.
ReplyDeleteHope the cold breezes depart and leave you to enjoy a great trip.
We are enjoying the blog immensely. Allen.
