Day 38 - Stockton Protest and Lizotte's
Friends called by our van and reminded me about the red protest by the beach. I quickly walked to the surf club and saw a few hundred people had responded to the call to wear red and assemble by the beach at 9am, urging something be done to fix the beach erosion. Their efforts were reported in the ABC TV news.
We drove to Lizotte's for a Beccy Cole lunchtime concert. Several Roadie friends were there so we had a good catch up. The food is very good especially considering they serve a lot of meals in a short space of time in a crowded venue. This is a wonderful historic building decorated with lots of quirky musical memorabilia.
Beccy sang some songs from her Wild at Heart album and more recent numbers. Libby and Kelly performed with her. After the show they had to drive to Sydney to do another performance this evening in support of a bushfire appeal. The koala was on stage as Beccy had been given it before the show by a woman in the audience who sponsors a real koala.
Near Lizotte's there is an 1894 Mechanics Institute building, appropriately occupied by the MG car club and one of the local historical societies.
We had to refuel on the way back to Stockton. While we were stopped I snapped a couple of photos of the huge industrial equipment used to load cargo ships. Anita doesn't share my interest in this industrial landscape.
Back at camp we disconnected our water and drainage ready for an early morning departure. We are going home tomorrow!
