Day 3 - Rest day St George

Had a great night's sleep. Van is really comfy when level. At Gunnedah with the Troopy still hitched, the bed was a little head low. Unhitched, and legs out and level, comfy as. And the temps were fine for breezes through the van and a cool sleep. M has a cold though :(

Woke to find a repairer for the Timing Belt warning light. Toyota dealer couldnt fit us in. Went to a really nice mechanic on the other side of St George who also couldnt fit us in, but did fix the passenger wiper for free and very nicely gave us the name of a repairer in Roma, our next stop, who might be able to help. Booked in on Thursday for timing belt and hydraulic lifter kit replacement (insisted it was necessary) which adds about $150 to the total proce, so this repair is already getting pricey. Oh well. The fuel economy is scary too towing such a large van. What did we expect. Butterflies and rainbows. And Lollipops. Little ponies with blue hair. And some stars sprinkled around I suppose. A day in the mechanic isnt out of the question either.

The river cruise wasnt running. We went for a quite warm walk by the river, and we could see why. It's kind of low. Then found the council pool was closed. So we visited the Unique Egg. A unique tourist attraction run by the local gun shop owner. It was great.

Then we met a minor TV personality on the Cobb and Co Pub. Not formally. Just a conversation across some tables. Name came to us later.

Watching first series of Whitechapel now.
