We arrived at Fitroy Crossing Resort last night and I was a bit put out when my Mastercard wouldn't work. I rang them this morning and was asked if I'd bought air tickets to Singapore recently? No! So the card has been cancelled, I have to sign before a JP and then I'm no longer responsible. It was a bit of a bummer yesterday but a huge shock this morning.
The resort is really nice-lovely big shaded sites, a lovely pool and cheap drinks in the bar at Happy Hour. Washing of cars and vans is encouraged on your site, so this morning we spent a couple of wet and enjoyable hours turning our red and dusty van back into a beautiful white one again. Our neighbours are really friendly. They are from Adelaide and Heyfield in Victoria. The couple from Heyfield had to be towed into town last night and will have to stay here until parts arrive and work is done on their van. It's hard to know just how long all that will take.
Last night as Russell went up to the toilets, he ran into a woman (Wendy) we have met in Malloy, Denham, Broome and now here. Like us they are heading to Kununurra next.
After the van was washed we went into town to the little supermarket. I wanted a lettuce, but couldn't bring myself to pay $5.25 for a tiny iceberg lettuce which had seen better days. I wanted a zucchini, but a smallish one was $3.50 and the asparagus was $28 per kg. It was packed in trays around 400g for $13ish. I am really pleased that our freezer and can cupboard are pretty full.
This afternoon I'm off to the pool and tomorrow we are going out to Geike Gorge first thing in the morning for a river cruise.
