We are comfortable in the Inverell Caravan Park for two nights. The night at Washpool was lovely sitting around the campfire although a bit cold.
What a change yesterday afternoon in our sheep paddock. The wind blew at about 40 knots and it was bitterly cold as the afternoon progressed. My main fear was that a tree might fall over the road such as it was and we could have to walk out. Maybe I should have packed a chain saw?
As they say the wind dropped and the morning broke crisp and clear. Sally stuck her head out through the hatch and called for the camera. The roof of the van was thick with ice. Our trusty diesel heater had given us a comfortable cosy sleep. It wasn't on all night as Sally insisted it was too hot. I got up at about 3am and the internal temperature was 4 degrees. I overruled the boss and switched the heater back on. Those of you hanging for a long blog will have to wait as Sally is cooking dinner and I need to pour the drinks.
A day in Inverell tomorrow and then off to Cranky Rock on Sunday and then a visit to Sal's cousin in Warialda on Monday.
So much for having no plans - that's 3 days
Keep smiling

ReplyDeleteI would think that your Mum has frost bite from last night! I hope there is a steaming pot of gluhwein being consumed tonight! That will warm you both up! We can wait for an epistle in the next couple of days once you thaw out Sally .... though that may not happen until you hit the coast again. hugs to both of you
