Ewingar (Tenterfield) - Wednesday 26 June 2019
Another lazy morning in our vans - my brother has learned not to come down to our campsite before 10:30am! The dogs arrive first anyway - they love having us here. By now they have their own water bowl behind the Patriot and have their sleeps on the Bushtracker’s mat. Over elevenses, we decided today is the day to go to Tenterfield. A few reasons for the trip - to see Tenterfield (made famous by Peter Allen’s song about his grandfather “the Tenterfield Saddler”), to do laundry, to do some shopping and to have a nice lunch out. Of course, it’s a fair drive, so an hour and a half of Neill’s driving Mighty Merlot (I do love every opportunity not to have to drive) we headed straight to the Commercial Hotel for lunch. It was a beautifully renovated pub, and the meals were excellent. A quick Google search to find a laundromat led us to a terrible laundromat under the same roofline as the BP service station with many broken machines. So we gave that a miss, decided to try a caravan park’s laundromat - which was also ordinary - so onto WikiCamps for the final caravan park in Tenterfield - and the best one as it turns out! Laundry on, some of us headed to Coles while others went to the hardware. We met up again to move the washing to the dryer then we went out for coffee. By the time we collected our dried washing, we are pretty sure we had seen most of Tenterfield and don’t necessarily need to return for awhile! Although Greg and I normally always stop here on our way to or home from Andrew’s for elevenses or to fill woth water or use the dump point.
It was almost 6pm before we got home so we quickly resurrected our fire and Neill and Jude cooked a yummy curried chicken for dinner before we went up to the house for tea and cake and to catch up with Courtney.
