Day 15 - Burpengary East (Eumundi)

The day dawned with lovely sunshine as we breakfasted on our Saturday staple of bagels with smoked salmon (yes, Tasmanian home made bagels) however Greg wasn’t feeling too well so he didn’t partake and ended up staying at camp to rest and recuperate. The rest of us headed up the highway to the Eumundi Markets, a bit of an institution in this part of the world. It’s probably about six years since we were last here. We arrived at about 10am and as I had hoped, were directed to a front row carpark because some people had already left. First things first, it was coffee and the most amazing chocolate filled fresh hot donut. Then we wandered the stalls. Plenty to see and buy but also lots of the same - clothes (dresses), jewellery, baby stuff, belts but in between, some cool 3D art, furniture and chook mozzie coil holders (practically  an essential at the moment!). We met up again for lunch, even finding a table and chairs and enjoying the yummy offerings. Peter and Rhonda were on a roll, doing plenty of shopping so we continued on u til the markets closed and then we headed back to camp.


We were having a roast for dinner tonight so we had to get back and get the fire going. Greg was feeling much better so after lighting the fire and collecting some more firewood, we enjoyed a cuppa and then pre-dinner drinks. We pulled out all the stops to try and avoid mozzies - spray, coils, candles and of course, the fire. Although the new anti-itch spray I bought at the markets also seems to work well but I’d rather not get bitten in the first place. The roast beef dinner with roast vegetables and gravy was delicious and we enjoyed the campfire until much later than normal tonight. It was not too cold and our music was playing - a great night.
