Warra - On The Move

Tuesday 19th August.

Initially we had intended to stay on here and possibly take advantage of the free power if and when it was restored, but mid morning the council workers posted a notice on the power poles advising that power would not be restored until Wednesday or Thursday. As we wanted to do some washing we decided to move on to a more suitable location and hopefully better weather as the sky was starting to clear.

A further 50 km's on we arrived at the small town of Warra where a very nice overnight rest facility is set up beside the historic school, police lockup and railway station. The station complex has nice clean toilets, an electric barbecue with fresh water taps available in the park area. Ther is a very old hotel adjacent which is currently undergoing restoration but opens Wednesday to Saturday at 2:00 pm. As it was just after 12 o'clock we were the first arrivals and had the pick of available spots.

The clouds have cleared away with a bit of a breeze still so we settled in beside the cover of the railway station which gave us a degree of privacy and a place to put up our clothes line and with a water tap right beside us.

During the rest of the afternoon a further 5 travellers arrived and settled in.
