Just to make a bit of a change, we checked the map to see
where we might fancy sleeping the next night and we booked (yes! We actually
booked ahead!) a slot at the Bowling Green Bay National Park.
Let me advise anyone reading this to not bother going there.
We found the camping area to be limited to tents and camper vans only and the
spots they allowed you were bounded by low fences forcing you to camp on the
gravel surface. We couldn’t fit into the place as these spots were about 3
metres by 6 metres and while we could get the van in there we wouldn’t be able
(due to the fences) to open the door.
Very poor show indeed.
So we toddled off and ended up in a free rest area near a
Caltex servo surrounded by backpackers in a variety of beaten up vehicles, but
all of whom were polite and generally nice people to meet.
The servo offered showers and toilets and even a TV room
although in our new van we have our own TV. It was there that I watched the
Cats get beaten by Collingwood due entirely to some very, very poor
marksmanship by the Cats forwards and some great opportunism on the part of the
Collingwood midfielders. 90 seconds from
the end it was tied, but Collingwood kicked the last two goals and we lost.
Bugger.
