Hippy Wedding Rally

Hi Everyone,
 I have just finished a week at Yarram in Victoria, withthe Solo motorhoming group. The theme of the rally was a Hippy Wedding. We finished up a really fun week with a big party night with everyone dressing up as hippies going to a wedding! It is amazing how people who live in motorhomes can come up with all this stuff to wear! I know I have a bit extra, (the cruise clothes!) but most people flock to the op shops to get their gear!!
We arrived at Yarram and parked ourselves around the local recreation reserve, toilets and showers supplied, but only a few could have power, and of course we all had to hold our " grey water" in our tanks.
 First night we had a lovely meal supplied by the local footy club, then it was alll go for the next 5 days. There were early morning walks, for those so inclined!, information sessions, instructions on motorhoming facts and fiction, rock and roll and line dancing, stitch and bitch sessions and MY Patchwork Class!
Most nights there were food supplied, if you wanted  it. Every afternoon of course there was Happy Hour! ( my liver could do with a rest!) and so the week passed, we were within walking distance of town, but there was also a courtesy bus supplied, which was handy as we had a few days of heavy rain! The oval and roads around were awash with mud and slops! It really didn't dry off at all over the week.
Yarram was a pretty town and we had several excursions to nearby town Port Albert and the TaraBulga National Park. The townsfolk were very welcoming to us, I guess it makes sense as we probably dropped a few thousand dollars into their pockets by the time we left. There were approximately 230 odd solo motorhomers came to town.
We had an interesting talk from a local lawyer, about wills and power of attorney etc, then the local undertaker talked about preboooked funeral services etc. Very interestingly he had a booklet printed up with all the information you need to supply at that time, and it is true, not everyone in the family knows all that stuff. So although it was pertinent to his company, I decided to take one and fill it out and leave it in a prominent place - "just in case". Course now I need to tell someone in the family where it is, so if they get a dreaded call they can direct someone to what my wishes are!
The trip over to Port Albert, was a lovely day, we took a trip to a very old church, that was made by a prefabricated method, and we ended up with the most delicious fresh fish at the pub and some of us had  seafood at the wharf. The pub was warmer, they had  massive roaring open fire in the bar, it was wonderful!
At the end of  a very enjoyable, tiring week, I decided to try and book into the Sale rally over Easter. A lot of the Solos were going there and so I will have a few friends to catch up with , also it makes it easier to go there for Easter as everything will be very heavily booked, it is also school holidays! I can't get used to other states timetables!
Any way, I am at Leongatha now and have another problem with my reversing camera!! It fell off the windscreen! I can't get it fixed until Traralgon. 
To end off this blog, I am deleriously happy!! The Fremantle Dockers, My footy team, won their first round game on the weekend! Against the trophy holders from last year!!! Yea!! Also the eagles, West Australia's other team also had a win! what a great start to the footy season.
So good luck to you all for the footy tipping competitions! Until the next blog
