Sunday found us returning to the Silver Wattle Caravan Park in Mt Morgan, we had stayed here last year and had enjoyed the warm and welcoming atmosphere of the park. Sarah, Mark & Maggie are wonderful hosts with a Happy Hour by the fire every evening with Pizza and nibbles supplied, Maggie enjoys sharing her extensive knowledge of this very unique old mining town. There is currently a feasibility study being done at the mine which looks very promising for restarting operations to recover the remaining gold, copper and pyrite resources.
It just happened that Anita & Jason were travelling up to Rockhampton on Monday as Archie had a doctors appointment and suggested we meet them for lunch. Rocky is only 40km from Mt Morgan so
of course we made the trip down the Range to see them and the grandkids. We had a lovely lunch at Bliss Cafe and then went to the Botanical Gardens playground for Liv and Archie to have some fun. Looking forward to spending time with them in Tannum Sands later in the month.
Today has been spent having a good clean up, we started yesterday finding a car wash to give the old Pajero a bath. Baz was able to partially clean the outside of the van, he was under strict instructions not to get water around the door side, as I didn't want wet grass & mud under foot. Washing is all up to date, floors cleaned and upholstery vacuumed in the van. All ready to head out to the coast.
