CASSILIS - POPULATION: 346

TUESDAY 9.05.2017: Planned to stop at Elong Elong on our way to Cassilis. Carole's Father (Don Peel), had taught at a one teacher school at the start of his teaching career and we thought it would be interesting to see if the school was still there. W-E-L-L, who knew Elong Elong was such a small town. By the time we realised we were there we had passed it - onward to Cassilis!
There is evidence of the lastest bushfires all along the highway - not good. Arrived at the Cassilis Bowling Club which has been set up as the "BlazeAid" headquarters.
Obviously people are camping at the back of the club and if any resident requires assistance with fencing or any other issue, the volunteers provide their services. Stayed the evening ($10.00 for power/water), and visited the club once we had settled in.
