Day 31 - Cunnumulla
Even though it is Monday, we pretended it was Sunday and had our fry up for breakfast. It was beautifully orchestrated - Peter got up early as he had to take his car for a service so he resurrected the fire and it was burning cheerily when I lifted the blind to watch the river while having my morning cuppa in bed. Jude then went to pick up Peter while Neill and I got the food on and we all enjoyed our breakfast in the rapidly warming sun. The others headed into town for a few jobs, as did we. First stop was the mechanic to see if he could do anything to help our windscreen not crack any further. He did a great job although “no guarantees”! Then the local IGA for the last few groceries for a week, then the bakery for lunch (including a special order for wholemeal bread which actually isn’t very common in this part of the world), then fuel (driveway service, even! And we’re not in Tassie!!), then the hardware for an expensive gas refill, then the bottle-o so it wasn’t until mid afternoon before we got back to the van. I did a quick load of washing as we wont have access to that (or much else!) for the next week. The other Patriot owners came over for a chat and before we knew it, dinner was being prepared. While Jude especially crumbed sausages just for Greg, I captured tonight’s stunning sunset Part of our musical repertoire at nights around the campfire has been Slim Dusty with the famous song in these parts - the Cunnumulla Fella.
