Sawtell: Supposedly Melbourne Cup

Our first job today was to move the van. We had parked on the side of a mildly sloping hill, so that we could get some grass at our door – but after rolling on top of each other all night we have decided that a comfortable night’s sleep is more important than having a grassy doorstep. It was a mostly cloudy day today, but lovely when the sun came out. This caravan park has heaps of grassy fields plus a great playground – so we could just stay here all day. Rob happily tapped away at his computer while Clare played with Olive. We did venture out, to walk up and down the quiet main street, only meters away, and to check out the beach. The main street is lined with wonderful huge Hillii Fig Trees. We avoided watching the Melbourne Cup, purely because we hadn’t heard anything of the build up, therefore had no interest in it whatsoever.
