Day 93 Zero day in Biggenden

Sunday 18th July, 2021

Zero day at Biggenden

I got up early and went to breakfast. The place opens at 6am and I was there at about 7.15 and it was cold. They have seating in the under cover areas but not inside, so eat quickly before it freezes. Today was Eggs Benedict.

I then made a shopping list and packed all my gear up, had another hot shower then walked across the road to the caravan park. It's a council park but the man running it let me have some grass beside the camp kitchen for a very good price.

The park was chockers with every powered site taken, all 3 cabins full and caravans parked in non powered areas. Apparently the one pub doing meals last night did 80. There is a cattle sale tomorrow but most of the people in the park are just keeping away from southern states.

I did my washing then wandered into town to look around and do my shopping. The people roaming around town are begging for something to be open but it's all shut tight, except the servo and th Foodland. I'm told the pub doesn't open its kitchen on Sundays, strange given the number of people in town.

Sunday is not a good day to shop at Foodland either, no bread of any kind and a lot of shelves empty. The stuff I wanted was OK except for the chocolate specials which had all gone. I found some Maggi stir fry sauces that Fred put me on to so that made the menu easier to work out. 7 days required so it's going to be a little heavy.

Back to the park then repack all my stuff and then I could relax for the afternoon. I found a crossword not done in a magazine, went back to the Cafe across the road and bought a couple of PepsiMax and decided a nice piece of tiramasu sas for sweets tonight. The park hosts had given me a container of curried sausages as the pub wasn't doing dinner.

Some low life during the day came to the camp kitchen and pinched my sausages and tiramsu from the camp kitchen fridge! I was there nearly all afternoon so I probably saw the culprit but don't know which one actually did it, so dinner was a bust again.

That was until a lady across the other side of the camp kitchen offered me chilli bean and cheese toasties, another lady also offered me some baked rice for dessert. So in the end I was fed.

I watched the Boncos lose and went to bed rather full. Not a big day planned tomorrow so breakfast at the Cafe and then onwards.
