Gismo Queen and her King

Day 1 - Tuesday 28 December 2020 - Bangor to Narawntapu

 The day started out smoothly enough, and we optimistically set off, confident that we would find suitable campsites at Narawntapu. First stop of the day was Exeter where we all hoped to have a delicious pie at the bakery but it was still closed. Never mind, we thought, and stocked up on a few things at the IGA to make our own lunch at Narawntapu. Upon arrival there - and after the girl at the Visitor Centre couldn’t say where there were any spots available at Bakers Point, we headed down their very corrugated dirt road to see. Doing the loop of the campground down there revealed nothing so disappointed, we headed back to the Visitor Centre to have some lunch and plan our next course of action. Along the way, Paul comes over the two way saying he had a strange warning light come up on his dash. Greg asked a couple of questions about it,  but figured we would look in more detail when we stopped. As we pulled up near the Visitor Centre, Paul told us he had completely lost drive. Knowing that was serious enough to warrant an RACT call, possibly a tow, we deciced to see if we could camp where we were. The powered sites were only 100 metres away and as luck would have it, there were two available side by side. So we parked up the Patriot, had a quick lunch, and then used Mighty Merlot to transport the Thomas’ van into situ. Within a couple of of hours, the Jeep had been towed and we were set up. We did some walks, soaked up some sun, and generally took it easy.
