Hot showers Heaven

Friday 8th August.
A nice long walk mid morning to the one and only shop (apart from service stations) where we purchased a local pie, jelly cake and cappuccino for lunch. The pie was one of the nicest, apparently made in Rockhampton and delivered here daily.
We also discovered a mobile coffee and snacks trailer right at the camping area, operated by an enterprising local who goes there every day during the week. The equipment for heating food and making hot drinks was powered by a HUGE 15Kva diesel generator which took up the entire tray of the Landcruiser ute which towed the food trailer.
The hot showers located adjacent to the toilet block are great - heaps of piping hot water in a lovely clean environment. Consequently we both had one of the longest showers we have had over the last 17 days, the number of consecutive days we have free camped and therefore needed to conserve our fresh water usage. Showers in the motorhome under these conditions are generally limited to a quick splash and dash every second day.
