Day 22 - Barossa



It was to be another VERY warm one today - so we packed up camp and hit the road about 9.40am - it was only an 84k trek to our new site. We checked in and were given a site which was not all that shady so Darrin set of on a reconnaissance mission to find us a new shadier site - we rang the office and asked if we could move and were given the green light! Yes we rang the office cause this park is huge and in 41 degree heat no one was walking back to the office.

Fed the kids a lunch of cold fruit - mango, grapes and watermelon which they loved. Gemma and Ethan got saturated playing in a couple of tubs of water - soaked and muddy but very happy kids. They use bore water here so water restrictions are not as tight. Cleaned up the kids and put them down for naps. While they were sleeping Jeanette and Zac headed off to town to find another fan and a few food items for dinner - fry pan pizza. Ate dinner in our screen tent to avoid the wasps and mossies. As an aside on the mossie topic - Ethan is very quick to spot the Australian flag which points out to us all as "Look there is the mossie flag"

More water play after sleeps, dinner and a bike ride through the caravan park with a quick stop off at the park playground. This park has an enormous family bathroom - you could hold a party in there! Milo and bed for the little campers.

Next two days are hot hot hot - all above 40 degrees.
