We travelled through Mount Gambier, stopped at Millicent to stretch our legs and have some lunch, into Kingston SE for a coffee then arrived at the Granites (about 20km north of Kingston). We have camped here before and decided to stop here for a couple of nights before heading home. There were already a few caravans and campervans here when we arrived but we found 'our spot' and set up. It was pretty windy yesterday so we put the anti-flap bars on the awning and probably lucky we did because this morning it came in very windy with some pretty strong wind gusts (rocking the caravan - I almost feel sea sick!) and quite a bit of rain. It is now almost 5pm and the rain appears to have gone but the wind is still blowing just as strong.
We saw a beautiful sunset last night - see photo.
I have had a couple of challenges on this trip - mainly with trying to have a decent shower! On Wednesday morning I went to have a shower and got as far as washing my hair, rinsing the shampoo out, applying conditioner and lathering my body when the water went cold! The gas bottle had emptied and by the time we got it switched over to the other gas bottle and got the hot water running again I was a mass of goose bumps and had rinsed off in cold water! On Friday morning before leaving Dartmoor I had managed to wash and rinse my hair, put conditioner in my hair and lathered up my body when the water tanks ran dry!!! We had some containers with drinking water so I had a rinse (again with blood cold water). We were able to fill the caravan water tanks at the Dartmoor spring as we were leaving but these two experiences have left me very wary of showers! Don't have too much choice unless I want to smell but I am apprehensive every time I get in the shower now.
Royce has been getting his rocks off!!! Don't jump to conclusions - he has been working on his zebra stones - see photo. They have come up really well and he has done a good job. The photo doesn't show them as well as in real life but hopefully you get the idea.
