Sunday 13th July.
Up earlier than normal this morning, quick breakfast, disconnected and packed the power cord and hose then made our way across to an area set aside for washing vehicles. The motorhome had a good layer of dust all over from the traffic passing our campsite of the last seven days so a quick hose down of the awning, windows and bodywork was done prior to our departure about 8:30am.
We dropped back into the tiny town of Mataranka to top up with diesel where we received a 5 cent discount using a voucher given to us from the Homestead. I Presume they may also operate the service station in Mataranka and this is a means of luring additional business to their fuel outlet.
We stopped to boil the kettle for morning tea at the Highway Inn roadhouse, then on to Dunmarra where we once again topped up the tank. It was then only a short drive south to our preferred overnight rest area at Newcastle Waters. We arrived around 2:00pm in time to secure a good spot.
As previously mentioned in this blog, the caravans and Motorhomes started to roll in shortly after and before long it was literally standing room only. Distance travelled today was 298 km's.
