Hi Everybody,
I arrived at Hay, and went to the showgrounds which were very pleasant to stay at, amentities were good for the price! I parked near a couple in a 5th wheeler who were having their first trip with it. It was nice to feel superior for a change! I lent them a power cord first and then they were happy to use my great little tables.
I walked over to the Hay railway station, which has been restored beautifully and houses a museum from the days of WW 2 when Hay housed 2000 POW's at a time, variously the Dunera Boys, Jewish mostly, then Italian and finally Japanese prisoners. There is a story about the Dunera Boys on tv or movie. Then I walked over to one of the local clubs for lunch, which while I was waiting I played the pokies and won $52.20! was I pleased!
Later on we had happy hour and had a few drinks. The couple claim to know friends of mine from Victoria, maybe maybe not!
Set off to Griffith, and found my Gps has a defiinite mind of its own. Obviously there are often several routes to places, but mine directs me sometimes over the worst roads it can find! I ended up choosing a sealed road (57kms) over an unsealed road (27kms) and found the sealed road was a goat track with bitumen over corrugations! Maybe i should have chanced the dirt road! I thought the van was going to be shaken to bits!
Then on to Lake Cargellico, a lovely spot, nice people and the caravan park supplies a sausage sizzle and damper on thursday nights, but they also did a pumpkin soup, jaffles and damper on sat night. they have a roaring camp fire going that burnt all day and night. I did my washing as the days were absolutely warm and sunny. I sat out and read and dozed, but when the sun slips down low doeas it get cold!Brr.
Drove off this morning to Parkes , via the Utes in the Paddock, amazing artwork, about 14 Holden utes, upended and painted by various artists to represent all sorts of things, very quirky.
Hope you are all keeping well these cold wintry days, can't believe I will be home in 19 days! see you around!
love vicki
