Gismo Queen and her King

Day 54 - Silverton

We were going to leave today....honestly....but the morning seemed to disappear before us and even though I put the toaster away, that was the only packing that took place so we stayed.

The sun was shining and blue skies greeted us this morning which may have contributed to the decision - this the Silverton we know and love. A morning of housekeeping (laundry and washing the caravan floors) before we walked into Silverton to have lunch at the Silverton Pub.
We have always stopped for a drink here on our previous visits and the ambience is great but we have never eaten here, now we know why. My parma was OK but Greg's pie appeared to be microwaved - I guess it is hard to get good cooks out here.

On our way back, we did part of the Heritage Walk Trail, including detouring via the local fire station to check out their (old) appliances. Back at our van, we had afternoon tea in the sun and finished reading a book we bought yesterday on the history of this park.

The sun was sinking fast and I wanted to capture the sunset over the Mundi Mundi Plains so we jumped in the car and headed out to the lookout, 5km past Silverton. We made it just in time.

Another roaring campfire and we even got to enjoy all of this one as the clear skies turned into a starry night and no raindrops dampened our night. A very relaxing day.
