Hi Folks,
Another day another dollar, well a help exchange dollar anyway. Our hosts decamped to Townsville at 0 dark hundred hours leaving us in charge! We made a start on the next batch of windows, filling, sanding, masking and undercoating.
Mid morning I was standing in the camper and could hear bagpipes playing "We will Rock You". I am not sure what Freddie Mercury would have made of that!
After lunch we strolled to town thinking we would get a coffee however as is the custom most of the shops close at 12 on Saturday. A moment of merriment occurred when Susan in her eagerness to examine stock in the homewares shop window head butted the glass. I popped into Supercheap and picked up some quality half price spanners and square drives that were on runout. They looked exactly the same as the ones in the Stanley toolkits. We also called into the Herbert River Orchid Society Show in a shop in the main street.
Coffee shops were thin on the ground however the Maccas had McCafe and it was good! We returned and did some more painting before heading to the Maraka Mardi Gras in the town centre. After a meal, a drink and a look at the entertainment we headed home stopping off at a coffee shop/bar that had actually reopened for the evening.
It was then time to sit down and nut out our schedule for when we leave here. This is a testing task. We are trying for a stop at Hervey Bay around the 10th of November for a week. There is a fair bit to see as we travel down the coast and I feel like we are going to sprint through several areas but time is ticking away so it can't be avoided.
Cheers Simon
