Day 5 Thursday 23/03/2023 Broken Creek, warm & stormy

Lunch today is at the nearby Goorambat Pub just a few k’s away. I’ve now lost my voice and still feel tired and snuffly. With everyone going to the pub, I crawl back under the covers in an effort to sleep it off. I’m warm as toast and quickly nod off. Then the phone rings, it’s I & S (not Legless and his good wife but the other I & S) they’re lost again and have gone to the wrong pub. “They’re at the Goorambat” I whisper. I think it’s time we all chipped in and bought those two a GPS, they’re always getting lost. The pub lunch was a success, which is no surprise. It is a beaut little pub.

Sitting outside in the warm dry air I watch a storm approaching.  Thunder rumbles in the distance. Doc visits all the vans to warn us that Shepparton has copped a hailstorm. Thankfully we only receive a light shower though I’m sure that Doc would have preferred a downpour to dampen the paddocks.

Happy hour is in the shelter of the camp kitchen and we all have an early night.
