How to cope with the cold

So we're from the coast and we aren't used to the cold. AT ALL!
Did we cope? We did!

Today:
 I found an awesome second bookshop that had TWO Annie Seaton books... Whitsunday Dawn and Daintree and some fabulous 1930s historical books on Alice Springs  that now belong to me (research gold!)

Today:
 we learned:
  • a fan heater in the caravan works wonders for keeping warm
  • as does a singlet, many jumpers, a coat and a beanie
  • a tasting of liqueur muscat before lunch was VERY warming, as was a purchase of a pretty bottle of said muscat
  • the crazy three on our trip went for a SWIM while the one sensible person (me!) observed.
  • We visited the Port of Echuca, called into the library to prepare for tomorrow's talk.
  • Found a warm camp kitchen to cook dinner, drink wine and rum, and meet fellow travellers.. one of the best parts of touring
Tomorrow... the library talk at Echuca

Today in pictures:
Mad travellers in 12 degree temperatures!

Tomorrow!

The mighty Murray
St Anne's Muscat

The highlight of my day!

  1. I love your muscat - of course it's your, Saint Anne's. Love Trish Drinkwater.
