Day 56 Wednesday 21/7/21 Mulambin, sunny 21 again Because of NSW and Victorian border confusion we extend our booking here another 5 days until the 18th of August. We’re lucky to keep our site as the park is busy. We wonder when and how we’ll get home. I zip down to Emu Park for an early morning blood test only to find the pathology lab closed.

Day 49 Wednesday 14/7/21 Mulambin, wet & warm 21 It’s Woody’s 75th birthday and it’s raining but he comes back from his morning walk with an armload of passion fruit. El Prado had spotted a laden vine that hangs over a nearby footpath dropping fruit for all.

A drive around the Rosslyn Bay marina without even getting out of the car just … Continue reading Capricorn Dancers, Day 49 – Hip, hip hooray!
