Day 9 Friday 17/2/2023 Nicholson, hot 36˚
With our formal muster over, most of our caravan club members head for home. It is preferable to stay put rather than take a longish drive on a hot day. The weather, however, behaves unexpectedly. During breakfast, we have a half-hour shower of heavy rain cooling things down quite markedly.
A bunch of us decide to visit Metung and have lunch at the legendary Metung Pub. The sky is now blue, there’s a light breeze and the moored boats looked very inviting. Lunch overlooking Bancroft Bay gets a tick of approval from us all. Afterward, we take a drive around the lakeshore and drool at the homes up on the bluff. Swans and fluffy singlets cygnets paddle about in the shallows.
At happy hour we find a rare patch of lawn and sit and chat while King parrots wheel overhead and baby galahs grizzle in their nests. That owl is still hooting with the precision of a Swiss clock. A thunderstorm threatens, sending us scuttling but this one is all lightning and thunder with barely any rain.
Accom: $20.00

That’s a nasty looking storm approaching, lucky it was all bark and no bite.

We have a need for fluffy singlets at the moment. It’s snowing!

I’ll send you some sunshine via FedEx. Those little singlets were seriously cute little fellas.

Sorry Peter, it was intercepted by Customs. Apparently it’s illegal to ship sunshine into the UK! 😉

Just trying to squeeze it in while we can Leland before someone upstairs pulls out the power plug.
