21st April 2012 - Green Lake - Bottle Bend Free Camp (1095)









Didn't leave Green Lake until 10.30am after having toast done over the open fire for brekkie and fare welling the other campers. First stop is Sea Lake to pick up Tattslotto and some water.  It appears that we may be heading into some bad weather in SA so we are going to the Murray for a few days to let it pass.  Left Sea Lake after filling the water tanks and are travelling through Long Plains, Tyrell Downs, Chinkapook and Manangatang.  Thought we might go through Robinvale just for a change.  Stopped on the side of the road just outside Chinkapook (love that name!!!!) and Barry cut a load of wood to take into the camp on the Murray. Nice little workout for us both, and a great load of hard wood. Our lunch stop was at Manangatang beside the railroad siding.  There was a "H" model train there filling up the cars with wheat.  Grumpy train driver that swore at Barry when he tried to engage him in a conversation about the train. Some people just get up Grumpy I am sure.....Ice Cream at Euston and then onto Bottle Bend Free Camp for a couple of days.  Already got the fire going and met some nice people camping not far from us where we are heading over for "Happy Hour" right now.
