I got a call this morning from my friend and neighbour Janette to tell me our much loved work mate Leon lost his battle to cancer just before she rang. It's so sad, but inevitable. I'll remember him as a man who loved to look good-enjoying facials and waxing, and loved a good gossip!
We've spent 4 nights here now. It's a great place and we love our spot by the lake. Our neighbours are all nice-a couple from Townsville, a very elderly couple from Mildura and behind us a nice couple from Yinnar who know our good friend Henry!
The elderly couple are travelling in a motor home that he designs, his son builds and elderly mum cleans, details and makes the curtains for! They started making one in their retirement and now have a factory employing 10 people. They are nice motor homes and came second in Motor Home of the yeaar last year-with a few improvements, they think they should win this year!

We are right beside the lake and it's a lovely place to take a couple of chairs down to and watch the sunset. We are woken every morning at 6am as a sea plane takes off over the very still lake and then all the boat cruises go by here as well.
Our days have been fairly quiet here-a little bit of sight seeing, a bit of shopping, catching up on cleaning of van and car, and paperwork-(sorting out my credit card and the insurance claim seem to have taken all day).
