The new carrying arrangement with the $8 cargo net
Hi All,
We packed in leisurely fashion this morning Susan pausing to wash and dry the sheets from our bed and vacuum the bedroom floor. I prodded our possessions into the car and made sure the new mounting arrangement for the bike box and tarp was secure. We said our goodbyes to Peter, Catherine, Alex and Benny. We had a really enjoyable stay guys. Hopefully you will soon be reading this on your computer.
The tarp was required as after we had refuelled and enjoyed Sexie Coffee at Maryborough the heavens opened once again. The 195 kilometres passed with out incident. Susan drove today since I had a stinker of a headache. My brain was feeling better until the wayward GPS intervened as we reached our journeys end. As luck would have it John our host came out of a side street as we were inching slowly towards our destination and we were able to follow him to his house at Twin Waters. We greeted Wendy his wife and ventured inside their stunning dwelling. For those not following the blog closely we met John and Wendy at Lawn Hill (back in August/September see days 51 and 52) and shared some pre dinner drinks and nibbles that lasted to about 11 pm. Somehow dinner was forgotten. Today after a chat and some unpacking we strolled with John and Wendy along a circular walkway along the canals. This was followed by predinner drinks and nibbles. Tea was a lovely serve of fish and salad interspersed with the X factor and then chat on the back deck overlooking the water. Water that contains good stocks of fish! It is a bit freaky that many of the spots John and Wendy visited were exactly the same as thos we visited.
Once again it is after midnight and after beer and wine as I write this so bleary eyes will be the order of the day again tomorrow morning.
Cheers Simon
