HOMEWARD BOUND!

SUN 7 - TUES 8.08.2016: Spent Sunday night at Bellingen Showground and early Monday morning headed for Watson's Jayco. As usual we took up residence (poodles in tow), in the shop waiting area. Poodle Palace was serviced and we set sail for our return to downtown Lemon Tree Passage. Nav (Carole), has been called for jury duty so we need to make our way home a little earlier than planned. Spent the evening at our usual John's River haunt, then home. Since arriving home little baby magpie has taken up residence in the garden - great except for the 4.00am warbling!

THORA

THUR 4 - SAT 6.08.2016: Due to the weather conditions we have decided to make our way home - except for a sojourn to downtown Coffs Harbour and Jayco. Yes, Sybil in a moment of absolute "Hulk like" strength pulled the television wall bracket out for viewing and managed to extract the fixture from the wall! Made a perfect landing on the table with television and wall bracket in hand - nothing damaged except for the body! Passed our usual head of cattle and stopped for lunch at a scenic picnic area. We are headed for the free camp at Ebor in the hope of staying the evening. Passed the free camp which was closed, drove to the local caravan park at the back of the pub - caravan park was closed! Went into the pub and asked if we could possibly stay the evening in the rather large car park and pay the caravan park rates. "Oh no, you can't do that, just drive on, you will find somewhere to stay." Felt a little like Mary and Joseph! Had already driven a considerable distance (for us), so we were even more excited to gain that response. Onward to Roses Park, Thora which is 14km west of Bellingen. After somewhat of a hiatus from television we sat up to the early hours watching "anything"!
