Good Morning Pinnaroo!
Low 2°c (36°F) – High 18°c
(64°F)
Yet another freezing cold start to a day and with our holiday almost
over the enthusiasm is at a pretty low point.
We dragged ourselves out of bed after the heater started to warm up but
it was a really slow start to the day.
Before we got everything packed we had to take a walk to the back of
the park. There is a wildlife park
managed by the local Lions Club which has Emus, Kangaroos, Wallabies and lot of
different birdlife, both in aviaries and also roaming the park.
Returning to the van Ms Kitty was still snoring so we had to wake her
up to finish the pack up and get on the road.
Passing into Victoria felt like the final nail in the coffin of the
trip but thankfully we were blessed with a mostly sunny trip. We’ve seen so many gorgeous wildflowers along
the side of the road, and many plantings of Gazanias and I had been saying to
Shane obviously someone plants them as I can’t imagine they grow wild – well we
caught one person in the process of adding to the collection today. I don’t think he’s been the one responsible
for them all but what a lovely thing to do – making the world prettier one
plant at a time.
We took a break at Hopetoun deciding to stop for lunch at one of the
local cafes. I have to say that the
hamburgers were actually much better than we had anticipated although “hamburger
with the lot” is an optimistic statement as a certain four legged family member
devoured most of the bacon and half of the meat.
The Horsham Riverside Caravan Park has been a favourite of ours for a
number of years and so it made sense to make a stopover here on the way
home. We arrived around 2.30pm and were
allocated a drive through site which, while not by the river which would
usually be our preference, will make things easier in the morning, and as it
happened we ended up with a lovely private site that made the most of the late
afternoon sun. We set up Kitty’s pen and
all sat outside to make the most of our last afternoon. The park is undergoing some major renovations
and is really looking great so we will no doubt be back.
