We are still very much enjoying being on the road full time. Although we still have to make time to do ordinary day to day things like do the washing, including sheets and towels, grocery shop, get haircuts, wash the car and van etc, we get to do all of this in different places. We don’t miss having a base, and are loving life in our van. We are eating more healthy, exercising heaps, and enjoying being in the outdoors and feel blessed to have the time to take in all that is around us.
The wind blew at 30-40 km in short gusts for most of the time, and from all directions. It didn’t matter how exposed we were, it was the same even back from the lake. Boating and fishing was disappointing. Many travellers have been telling us that strong winds have been blowing from further north at Cairns to Mackay for the last 3 weeks. We hope it settles as we head back to the coast.
We walked/ran to the dam wall twice a day, so it was easy to get our 10,000 steps per day completed. Derek has lost 7.5kg in 25 days, so is pumped.
Sunsets were pretty awesome,
Cattle wandered past us each evening....even had a dip, they love eating the water lillies
Awesome teddy room in an op shop ....not for sale... all those discarded preloved teddies now have a home together
The wildlife mingled and swam all together, little cormorants, pied cormorants, pelicans, 3 types of ducks, ibis, herons, egrets, black swans, but my favourite was the Australasian Darter who love to sit like this and dry their wings after fishing
But a new water bird for us was the Cotton Pygmy Goose
A family of ducks set up camp in front of us....all fell asleep at one stage
Plus this echidna thought we couldn’t see him, he kept trying to hide in the grass next to the post, as we tried to get close
It was a peaceful few days, just sadly not comfortable to sit outside.
