Plugging into the power here at Kalbar was a bit of a relief. Monday was still very hot so the air-conditioning came in very welcome. We had a big thunder storm on Monday night which cooled the place down nicely.
It’s a quite pretty spot, just on the northern outskirt of Kalbar. They had some flooding in early January, with the showgrounds going under water, but Harry has got the grounds looking nice now, even though he is a little obsessive about mowing the grass. At $80 / week, it is pretty cheap living, with power and water and two toilet and shower blocks. One is quite old and a little dilapidated, while the other is quite new. Rick spent about 4 hours all up cleaning and scrubbing the old toilet block. It was completely disgusting, and covered in bugs and webs, but is now clean and sweet.
We took a drive out to Lake Moogerah and Maroon Dam, to assess their suitability for camping. Lake Moogerah Caravan Park is quite good for powered and unpowered camping, NOT ON A WEEKEND, but Maroon Dam was pretty decrepit. That’s now crossed off the list.
That IS cheap rent.Good work on the cleaning Rick,I am sure it will be appreciated.
