Lake Tinaroo....still..........

Well, we had a quiet day yesterday, washing clothes, cleaning bits and pieces, organising stuff in the caravan and vehicle.  Peter fixed his sullage connection again.  The original was removed from his caravan just prior to Longreach, by a dead Kangaroo in the middle of the road.  There is a lot of native road kill out here, and it is hard to dodge at times.

The day started with a pancake breakfast put on by the caravan park to get people to know one another.  It was great and the pancakes were good too.  They do it twice a week for all comers in the park.

We also shopped and replenished our supplies yesterday, with a large Woolies in town.  We also got some info from the Tourism Information Centre, they were very helpful and friendly.

The caravan sites are very small, with not much room for larger vans like ours - or Peter and Helen's for that matter.  We had to be creative with our parking, as I have a freezer in the back of Max (Toyo Landcruiser) for our extra supplies.  I have to plug the freezer into 240 volt supply overnight, as I dont want to risk flattening Max's battery with the freezer.  So, long story short, we made a partial "carport" for Max with the annex.  This gives me a parking space which I would otherwise not have and gives me acces to mains power for the freezer.  Good job all round.  And Max must be happy to have a (partial) carport.

We are off to drive the local area around the "waterfalls circuit".  With a bit of luck, I will have some noice pics for your entertainment tonight, so tune in sometime after dinner and have a look.

Off to Cooktown tomorrow for a few days, then, maybe Wonga Beach or somewhere north of Cairns - Port Douglas perhaps.  Do you get the feeling that we are no longer on a mission, just taking it easy and going with the flow?  You'd be right, coz that's how it is.  Noice!
