Comment:- Last night I prepared tea in the well equipped camp kitchen. I then watched a bit of TV before Gerd arrived back here with his son, Garry. We chatted for a while before I got my long awaited phone call from Evon.

The three girls, Evon, Roz and Mundi, had a great time in China and I am looking forward to hearing all about the trip when I get home.

Had a phone call from Pam from Geelong enquiring about my wellbeing. I am really grateful for your concerns and advice.

Garry had departed while I was on the phone and Gerd was in his van, so on my return to my tent I had another chat with Gerd before retiring to bed about 10.30 pm. Gerd is heading back home in the morning.

Had a good nights sleep, crawling out of bed about 7 am, in time to thank Gerd for all his help and wish him a safe trip home. Had a very nice hot shower then settled in to have a nice breakfast. Cleaned up my tent. Received a phone call from Ian from Geelong who was also concerned about my health.

I then grabbed my camera and went for a walk along the foreshore up to the jetty. There are a number of shelters and BBQ along the fore shore and kiddies playgrounds. Out along the jetty where there were a number of people fishing.

I didn’t realize how big this town was. Two hotels, Supermarket, Hardware store, Chemist, Bakery, Butchers and numerous coffee shops.
Bruce from Clifton Springs rang and we had a bit of a chat. Will get together on my return to Geelong.


Back to the caravan park and made my lunch. Read a couple of magazines before going back to the tent, laying down and dozing off to sleep for a few hours. Made myself a coffee about 4 pm and sat on one of the many seats outside enjoying the wonderful sunshine.

I am feeling quite a bit better although there is still some congestion on my chest and a couple of aching joints. Certainly a lot better than a couple of days ago.

I am now doing my diary and Blog before I cook tea etc. Tomorrow there is a model boat regatta which I am looking forward to seeing, other than that another quiet day.
