Home for a day and we’re off again to Ross. This time, we have a powered site beside Roger and Shirley from Sarina in Queensland. They have a camper trailer which folds out and a very well organized flat-tray Navara with everything they will need for a long trip. They’ve also been on the road for fourteen months and in Tasmania for four months. They say they’ve just scratched the surface.
Every day we realise something else we’ve forgotten. This time Marilyn didn’t have a bread knife to slice the beautiful little loaf we bought at the local bakery so I had substantial sandwiches for my lunch, hacked from the loaf with a table knife.
That evening, we had a great meal at the Man o’ Ross Hotel and, because the night was a little cool, we tried out our diesel heater. It’s a wonderful thing and we find it works well if we turn it on for 40 minutes, then leave it off for an hour before turning it on again for another 40 minute. The control is beside Marilyn’s bed so she takes full advantage of the convenience.
It’s a cool and overcast day so we’re spending most of the time inside, catching up on our journals. We’ve had a good walk and have discovered parts of Ross we’ve never seen before. We plan to head back to Deloraine tomorrow ready for the beginning of a new week. I have a meeting on Monday for the official hand-over of Giant Steps’ new multi-purpose hall. That will be the culmination of many months of planning and negotiation.
