Day Ten

Oh Boy! we had a real long trip today, about 70k south to the lovely little town of Lockhart. We are camped in a very nice little park just down the street from the shopping centre. As we drove into town the first impressions are great with the town looking very prosperous but on closer inspection the town is struggling with many of the shops closed.

The town is steeped in history with bush rangers and early settlement. Mostly the building have retained their early charm and much of the history of each building has been engraved on the wall or embossed in the footpaths.

Wendy fed the geese in the park today and was real brave until they got a bit cheeky and started demanding food. They mustn't have a water problem here as there are sprinklers going everywhere in the park and it is a green oasis amoungst a very dry surrounding country.

We have had an easy day today and rested, Alan and Maureen still are not out of their air-conditioned motorhome, having a nanny nap and it is 5.15pm as I write this.

Tomorrow we are off to the Darling and will be camping along the river bank. Lets hope the weather improves.
