Winton Caravan Park a bit cosy!

Hi Folks,
We packed very efficiently at Longreach this morning aided by the third day in a row with no dew! and ventured northwards without incident the 175km to Winton. After a generous serve of chicken and steak burgers and expresso at the Winton Coolabah Cafe we chose a park fairly randomly and to say the sites are cosy would be an understatement. After some precision reversing camp was erected. I hauled the battery out of the box to accompany the solar panel since the rear of the trailer faced the sun to the north. The weather was warm, 28 degrees maximum as recorded by the trusty fridge thermometer. We toodled to town, perused the opal shops and voted so that is one thing we don't have to worry about. The park prooved to be a great choice. Entertainment commenced at 430 with an hour of live music from Graham Rodger. We prepared tea between acts and returned after 7 to catch the bush comedienne/poet duo of Melanie Hall and Susan Carcary for one and a half hours of hilarity. Susan bought 2 more CD's to go with the ones from yesterday.
Tomorrow we are off to see the dinosaur trackways at Lark Quarry and the Age of Dinosaurs Fossil preparation facility although some might suggest these caravan parks do the same thing ;-) It's great to finally have some warm weather.
Cheers Simon
......POSTSCRIPT
The grass picked yesterday was faded and nothing like the pink colours of yesterday, so the few stalks were disposed into the bin, recalled there is a campaign to “rid Longreach of “XXXX”” some weed...... me hopes it isn’t this grass....
Melanie Hall and Susan Carcary were fabulous, have made a time to catch up with them tomorrow to get a copy of the "Piddle Riddle" poem. I am sure the ex RDNS girls will appreciate this one, particularly thought of Maggie and her previous job, unfortunately the poem is not on CD yet. Melanie Hall
