After making tea we set out to find a gas refill. A local petrol station at the top of the main street refills the existing bottle, they don’t seem to replace the size of bottle we have. The petrol station has a retro look to it, as does much of the town – it has the feel of a small country town in the 1960s. We spend much of the morning buying supplies and mooching about in the main street.
We drive to a viewpoint to make lunch of asparagus and bread with salad, and later go to a local swimming hole where kids are sunbathing and swinging on ropes to jump in the water. Sue swims. Later we walk into town and try to spot platypus again – no luck today. I get a beer in the local pub and we walk back to the showground to cook tortilla.
