We are getting pretty good at setting up on the road side and pulling out our camper trailer kitchen draw / bench and making a cuppa and lunch in about 30 / 60 minutes for a welcome break / rest stop. When we see a welcoming "pull over" aka as a rest stop we find the location is often full of free caravaner's [20 to 50 of the vans depending in locations eg next to a Billabong] stopping over for a couple of nights also [their rig costs about $150k, i would have to say.. good on them]. At one location there as Lora directing her husband into one of those "rest stops". She had the boots, the broad brim hat and a set of leveling devices under her arm, looked like she knew how to manage the routine of leveling the van. We pulled in with our camper trailer next to a shaded spot with a picnic table and pullout the kitchen draw. In no time we had connected the gas, boiled the water made the tea/coffee, made and eat our lunch while watching Lora being told to stand here, there and generally all the wrong places.
The previous day at Fitzroy Crossing while walking the supermarket isles, i spotted in the bargain bin "tuna and prawns" for a very much reduced price. Not wanting to miss a bargain, yep, i will have a couple of those tins!!!
Well at this lunch stop, on close inspection, the tinned food was "cat food" not meant for human consumption...
Seeing as Lora was providing us with such good lunch time entertainment, i will guess her husband we will call for want of a better name "Phippy" we were pleased to give them the two cans of "cat food" as they had a dog with them - pretty close animal in my estimation, LOL
Our next stop was Derby and by then we would hope Lora and Phippy would had had there cuppa...
