Main Beach. Day 11

We certainly cant cut a break here on the Gold Coast. If its not one thing buggering up our efforts to get into the surf, its another.

The list of interference is steadily growing. It rained all night last night with the odd clap of thunder, to wake us up to remind us its still raining ….. and as of 10.30am its still raining

A very lazy day around the van today, which was really nice. Doing nothing is exhausting.

Ross noticed the storm towel (the towel we use on the floor for wet, or sweaty post exercise transistion into the van) was wet in one corner. An investigation revealed we’d sprung a bit of a leak on the inside on the water filler where the mains pressure hose attaches and the water tank fillers are located. Not a huge issue that was fixed relatively quickly … the demolition of the lounge looks a lot worse than it actually was

Theres so much wasted storage oppotunities under the lounge seating … a situation we will have adjust over the winter

Ross found a great looking caravan park in Moama, near Echuca right on the Murray River. A great spot catering directly for boating enthusiasts with a “marina” area where boating Jones’s can leave there boats in the water and compare the sizes of their engines like puffy chested pigeons strutting about.

It does look like a really nice park with good facilities. Ross can leave his kayak parked amongst the super duper ski boats …. to really mesmerise the rev head fuel junkies

Our only venture out into the world was a brief visit to the supermarket to stock up for dinner. The were a number of tantilising options under consideration …. Kangaroo Balls was one of them. We’re not sure if in an attempt to slip them past unsuspecting pallets, like sweet bread, theyre attached the moniker, “Bush Tomatoes”

Another oddity we came across was the Chicken and Mushroom sausages. Nothing too confronting there …… until you look a little closer. With a proud and bold label stating they are not only chicken sausages, but RSPCA approved sausages …. thats the Royal Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. Where on gods earth is chopping of the chickens head, jambing it into a meat grinder and squeezing into a sausage skin a fun day out for the chicken. Makes Ross very uncomfortable eating hot dogs.

Happy Tails !!!! Cats? Ok. Dogs x 2? Ok. ……but a bloody goose, where the goose tail; whats the goose got that the humble, cute and loving chicken doesnt. Sell out bastards

All we can to this pic is a great big ” ……. yes we are so very much looking for you”

A whole Coles shelving segment from floor to ceiling, set up as a Chinese Shrine to cheap offshore Australiana. This is the central zone of patrotism, where most of the so called self styled one day a year half pissed Red Blooded Patriotic Aussies will flock to, to show with national pride ….. with a cheap plastic Chinese made Auatralian flag/hat/towel or thongs
