Holiday - 2006/10/24

• In the morning we went back to the banks of the Murray river for another play in the sand. What was really cool was that our hole from the previous day was still there! We were able to extend it using the cups from Mike & Tae’s coffee’s with the bottoms cut out. This made a great pipe which we built a bridge over the top.
• We drove to Narrandera and arrived there at lunch time. We stopped at a park in the centre of time for a cuppa and a sandwich. We also played in the park and there is a cricket field at the same place and the sprinklers were on. Stephen & Mike had some fun running across the field and dodging the sprinklers. There was also a little wildlife enclosure that had an emu, some kangaroos, and some native birds.
• We arrived in Temora around 3pm and we spent a while deciding where to stay. There were no decent caravan parks so we stayed in a motel, which is actually quite nice – the lady gave us a big room. When you arrive in Temora the sign says, “The friendliest town in NSW”. By all indications this is somewhat exaggerated. When we went to the information centre, which is in the library, we couldn’t actually interest anyone in helping us, even though we were there for 15 minutes!
• Stephen is very excited about the aircraft museum, but it was too late in the day to go to the museum, so Mike & Stephen went to the local recreation centre which has a full length Olympic pool and a smaller pool for little children. They had great fun in the pool and doing interval training (Stephen’s insistence).
• In the evening we all went to the Ex-Services club for dinner. Fish & Chips, followed by ice cream for Stephen. Mike asked for the chicken Madagaskar (sounded nice) but they were all out of chicken breast! So, Mike had a steak and it was massive, and also quite nice. Taemar had Penne alla amatriciana.
• Drove 310km.
