Very Social Day

I started my day by reassembling the outdoor seat I have been painting. That sounds like a straightforward job but it wasn't. I had numbered each slat to make sure it went back in the same position, but it was awkward holding the cast iron end pieces in position while I fitted the first couple of slats. Blue was "helping" me and occasionally sneaking away with my screwdriver and trying to steal screws. While I was in the middle of this job our electrician returned to complete a couple of jobs and adjust the sensor lights. 

Anita was busy cooking lunch for a couple of friends we haven't seen for a few months when two other friends called in briefly to see Tilly and Blue. Everyone who meets them is taken by their personalities and cuteness. Lunch was very enjoyable and we did our best to continue our social distancing, sanitising and hand washing. Anita served a couple of Maggie Beer dishes. Our friends arrived with a selection of gourmet cakes but none of us could manage to eat them after lunch. Anita and I shared a couple for our dinner and they were delicious.

At 5 o'clock we had a Skype Happy Hour with our Newcastle friends. Their new dog contentedly sat on their laps but our two little critters didn't make an appearance as they were both exhausted after playing with all our in-person visiting friends. It was good to have a virtual get together but being together with friends in the same place still wins. Blue crawled under my chair to sleep.

We were watching TV when Tilly jumped from the couch onto the Lazy Susan we had left on the coffee table. She was spun 90 degrees but quickly recovered and managed not to spill the glass of water sitting there. There are so many things to consider with a very active agile kitten on the loose. At least the puppy can't get off the ground without help.

Aussie Road Crew - Finished

Image
After our final dinner and concert some Roadies were continuing their celebrations near our Bushtracker. We could hear the noise even though all windows were shut and the van is normally soundproof. As it was after 10pm I ventured out to negotiate with them. While one person accused me of being the fun police, other Roadies supported my suggestion they turn off the amplified music and keep the noise down. The general expectation in caravan parks is noise stops after 10pm. There were non Roadies trying to sleep in tents, and I suggested their activities would reflect badly on Aussie Road Crew and Beccy who might not be able to return to this park on future tours. Fortunately there was very little noise after my visit. We drove out of the Crows Nest Tourist Park just after 7am looking for a MacDonald's in Toowoomba for coffee and brekkie. Instead we spotted Valetta Cafe in time to park the van across the road. I bought a take away brioche egg and bacon roll and coffees. The cafe is i...

Around Chinchilla

Image
The Condamine River is flowing over the Chinchilla Weir 5kms out of town. It has reached the 6m mark on the gauge and is an impressive sight. It is forecast to reach 8m by Tuesday in two days time. Chinchilla has suffered several floods when Charley's Creek rises. This is the post office in the 2010-2011 flood and as it was today. On 28 December 2010 the water level at Chinchilla Weir topped 15m. Despite this history of repeated flooding Chinchilla appears to be a prosperous town with many community facilities such as a water park, 700 seat cultural centre, and major road improvements. Many of the out of town workers are employed by QCG, a Shell company "producing" natural gas in the Surat Basin - presumably this means collecting the gas by fracking. Just down the road there is accommodation for 1,000 workers in Stayover so the town is benefiting from the presence of this large workforce. Tilly finally slept through the night. Today I kept her outside as much as possible ...

Broken Hill to Burra

Image
We left Broken Hill about 8am for our drive to Burra. Our first stop was at Mannahill. We followed this load of sheep as we dawdled through roadworks. On a recommendation from friends we explored Terowie, an historic town that is almost abandoned. The town grew late in the nineteenth century as a transhipment point from broad gauge rail to narrow gauge. In the 1970s the line to Peterborough was converted to broad gauge and Terowie became a near ghost town. Several abandoned shops are now owned by the South Australian Government. Unfortunately there is a risk associated with asbestos being blown around the town. The population fell from about 2000 to 130. In 1942 General Macarthur passed through Terowie on his way to Adelaide and Melbourne. He made a public speech at the railway station famously asserting "I came out of Bataan [in the Phillipines] and I shall return". A plaque marks the location at the rem...
