We awake to a bright sunrise with the few clouds a vivid pink. The clouds cleared but the crisp morning soon cleared to a lovely warm day.
Today was a domestic duties day - first opportunity to do any washing since the trip began. The bag was overflowing, and we took up half the rotary clothes hoist.
We then went into the city centre and did some shopping for a very nice ham salad lunch which Dot prepared back at the motel. We sat by the pool and ate this.
Then back into town to visit the Information Centre and wander through the mall, viewing some of the aboriginal artworks for sale.
We then caught up with John & Lan Lan Walsh, Peter & Sue Daunton, [members of our 2011 trip] and David & Kerryn ?? at Lasseters Casino, where they are staying for the next few days, after arriving today.
We made our way through the large pokies section, where John said "we could see our taxes clearly at work" - referring to the numerous people at the machines and found our way to the Juicy Steak Bar for a meal. They have a system that if you join Club Lasseters [ for free], you are entitled to 10% discount on meals/drinks & accommodation. We all went off to join and received benefits immediately.
It was great to catch with our past travelling companions. We will be doing a series of short trips with them over the next few days. No photos taken today.
