Turned east from Talwood before turning north again at Bungunya, passing thru Westmar on this very straight long road to Meandarra (me an darra) the town named after a man and his dog. We considered staying overnight here with power and water @ $10 for the first 2 nights and then the next 2 nights free, good value if needing time off the road but we continued on, now heading west to Glenmorgan where we pulled over to enjoy the afternoon beside the gum trees and the old railway station.
The camp area is beside the railway track that was/is 'end of line' and also directly across the road from the general store. I seen they sold some camp items in the store, I rattled around in there for a bit and found 2 really large tent pegs $6 each, just what I need to make a grid atop the choofer. It will balance the kettle and frypan nicely but will have to wait till I'm home to visit the Mens Shed for help drilling 4 holes.
Under the shade of the picnic area members of council gathered to have their local meeting, I couldn't help but quietly listen in to their discussion about Anzac Day. The donation box is beside the gas bbq's and power switches.
This is a quiet, enjoyable spot with the weather being nice and warm during the day. There is fire drum and timber supplied for the travellers. A couple from Tasmania camped nearby and cranked up the fire so, of course we were there to soak up the heat as the cool night set in, What a way to end the day, treated to a fabulous sunset with good company to boot.
