Had a very pleasant lunch with friends at Bruce Rock on Melbourne Cup day - spent $25 and won $44 so that was nice. Not used to drinking at lunch time so of to the van for a nana nap. I had gone back to the sports oval across from the caravan park and parked under the trees so cooler thank goodness.
Off to Kokerbin Rock on Wednesday. No camping there now - it is just a day rest area but there is now a new camp at the deserted township of Kwolyin so I found a spot and stayed for 2 nights. Have decided I could easily become a hermit. No-one there and so peaceful. Played the ukulele and the recorder for a while!!! (it WAS peaceful up until then :)) Excellent new facilities provided by the Bruce Rock Shire - flush toilets, town water, gas BBQ and a kitchen. Went for a few walks around the town - really nothing left but a few concrete pads and a church. Saw a snake trail but no sign of it thank goodness.
Next stop was York beside the Lowe St park. Council has put in 4 power points and a couple of taps near the toilets. Was only here for an hour when a councillor popped in to say welcome - fancy that. Went up the alley beside the court house and in to the main street. Lots of places to eat, a wonderful Olde Lolly Shoppe, old books and second hand stuff and real estate agents it seems. An IGA and a couple of pubs. Lovely old place.
