We again took our time to depart the lovely but quite cold campground. The night was as cool as we have encountered for a while. Thankfully, once the sun was up it warmed quickly. There was not a lot to have to pack up as we had not deployed our awning and had no electric cords to wind up.
The trip was not far, about 45kms, from the campground into town. On arrival, we parked near the Information Centre. We walked along the main street to a cafe that I remembered was not too bad at making coffees. So we had our first cappuccinos for several days along with nice raisin toast.
Following our caffeine intake(cappuccinos) we walked along both sides of the main street. On the way we went into Woolworths to get a few items. Eventually we walked into the Information Centre. We were greeted by Neville who is a volunteer there. He helped us with lots of information and suggestions.
We set off then for the Oasis Caravan Park. Again this was a location I stayed in last year on my way through. We were quickly settled and it was about lunch time. So we had a bit a quiet afternoon.
At about 1700, the camp kitchen became the entertainment centre for the evening.
We were entertained by a poet/yarn teller/singer, Brenda-Joy (Pritchard). She became known to us earlier in the year when she and her husband, Hal, were camped beside us at Dunedoo. We were there for the Bush Poetry competition but primarily a Kimberley Karavan Owners Group get together. Brenda-Joy is a real character with some great work not only of her own but also by others, such as Banjo Patterson and Henry Lawson.
When the entertainment finished, we received our order of wood fired pizzas that were made entirely by the family and staff of the Caravan Park. They were really nice and filling.
So ended another day at another location.
