20 June A day of rest in Cunnamulla

A late breakfast then watched the mass exodus of caravans. 10 past 10 the park was just about empty - photo later. Brian went for a 2.45 hour walk and I went to town!!?? Well it is all the town 1500 people need (I guess). Cauliflower was $8! at the little IGA 
The biggest shop has a big selection of toys, a good shoe section, a smattering of bits and pieces. The Bargin shop ...... Nothing like one would expect, mostly cleaning products but very friendly staff who just wanted to talk.
Weather was sunny but cold wind so only sat outside for a short time.
At 2pm we decided to go to the Information centre and Artesian Time Tunnel which also holds a museum of the early days. $13 entry .. But we arrived to be told ' you can have a quick peek as we close at 2pm and all the electronic displays are turned off' We did for about 15 min with the boss telling us about so much of the history  .... For free! Tinny aren't we?
BBQ for tea and now Football .... Again but tonight is not so hard on my ears. Yes I survived last nights loss but Brian took quite a while to unwind. I'm so glad the players can't hear him!
We want to go to the Opal area but must check the condition of the local rivers before we go, a lot are in flood.
The second photo shows what a change has happened to our park by 4pm, we have always heard about the Gray Nomads but to see it is something else. We retirees are so fortunate.

  1. Shopping sounded good, except for the $8 cauliflower. I hope you were sensible and bought a hot chocolate instead
