A very windy evening here. We are sitting adjacent the kitchen with the "pig" roaring away but with the wind the greatest warming is generated by splitting the wood with the axe. We were up at 7 this morning on the alarm. After breakfasting we headed to Mandy's (a friend of Dan's) house northwards up the road past Kandanga to take up her offer of a shower, which was most welcome. After our showers and goodbyes we drove back into Kandanga for an expresso.

It was then southwards to Kenilworth. Susan spent time in the Nepalese Op shop and we both took tours of the main street. Susan joined the library which has a big selection of audio books. Hopefully she will manage to return all her borrowings before we depart. We visited the cheese factory for a tasting and purchased what we desired from their seconds rack. The price was around $18 per kilo compared to the $80 that Bruny Island charge. Incredibly good value. Hunger had set in so a visit to the local burger bar where we had a speciality gourmet burger for $10 each. Again good taste and value. Back to the cheese factory for a waffle cone with big scoops of delicious ice cream for $3.50 more good value. During our sojourn Susan discovered anafternoon market was being held at Dagun which was back north of where we went this morning. I fuelled up the car and we headed off becoming reacquainted with our talking book.

The Dagun market was small and at the back of the railway station being held on Saturday afternoon when the elusive train does short trips between Gympie and Dagun. The word was the train was not running. We were somewhat surprised sitting in the car when it rolled in. It was Diesel hauled so not a great loss. We returned to Imbil and the supermarket for supplies and back to our camp area.
I washed the car which really needed it having been at least 51 days since it's last clean.
The evening has been spent catching up on administrative chores and goofing off on the computer. Mercifully the wind seems now to have dropped a bit. We will do some more touring tomorrow maybe a bit further afield. We might even get a sleep in. Since we have power I am thinking we will haul out the expresso machine in the morning. Now that will be a delight!
Night folks
Cheers Simon
