Atherton area final day

This morning was an overcast but dry morning. So it was gloomy until around 0700. Even on a clear day the sun does not get up until around 0635.

Prue did a few things around the Karavan and was getting ready for whatever we were doing today.

As usual, I set off on my bike. I really have enjoyed the circuit that I have found. This morning, although it was dull, I was able to enjoy the passing scenery as there was no fog around where I was cycling. After having the massage and getting back to the Karavan much later than we normally do, I felt a bit drained or in other words lacking energy. I did manage to do the ride without any stops so maybe I was imagining my lack of energy.

After I showered, Prue and I went into Gallery 5 for cappuccinos and I had a muffin as I was ravenous after my ride. While there I made a phone call to a friend, Geoff, who lives near Yungaburra. We arranged to meet back at Gallery 5 at 1030.

I dropped Prue at the Crystal Caves. She spent around 2 hours there. My priority was to refuel as the warning light was on and I had no idea how much was left in the tank when that occurs. It holds 15 litres when it does come on. I went to Home Hardware to get a few minor items. Then I returned to the Karavan to do a few little jobs.

As arranged we met Geoff and Veronica at Gallery 5. I spent time with Geoff last year as I came through but Prue had not seen him for a few years and both of had not seen Veronica for even longer. It was so nice to catch up with them both. AS they had not seen a Kimberley Karavan, they came back to the Caravan Park. They were really impressed by it  and Geoff was also impressed with the Mazda Freestyle cab. After Geoff and Veronica left it was almost time for lunch.

Our trip for the afternoon was to Herberton to particularly visit the Historic Village. It is a place to view items, vehicles and buildings from long ago. Herberton has a lot of history relating to mining but also rural industries.  It is situated in amongst hills and it mostly perched on the slopes above the Wild River.



We returned to Atherton and did some grocery shopping and finally returned to the Karavan for a little relaxation as well as pack a few items for our departure tomorrow.
