Good Morning , Good Afternoon , Good Evening

Stopped at Heatherbrae pies for a coffee and, you guessed it, a pie.

We have a list of places we stop at when we travel, some of which like specific McDonalds stores and with McDonalds we're not fans and we would ordinarily never stop call in. Heatherbrae Pies is one "fav" and I use that term lightly (or more a mindless habit stopover) . We generally only stop for a pie on the way sth, rarely nth for whatever reason. They are always very busy, parking can be frustrating, the pies are ok but nothing special and they are very expensive. We mention all 4 of those issues every time we stop, but stop again next time anyway. We do the same with Jayco dealer near the pie shop, go in there for no particular reason only to whinge about the prices and walk out annoyed. The Bunnings down the road is also a regular stop for a bit of 'me' time. Im getting older, so whinging and mindless routines are starting to creep into my life .... ha

we usually make a stop at Heatherbrae Pies when travelling either north or south of Sydney. Depending on the time of day it could be a pie or vanilla slice or sometimes both.
speaking of pies coming home from South Durras last weekend we stopped at Ulladulla and had a steak and mushroom pie from a shop called Hayden’s Pies next to the Mitre 10. Very very delicious.

I see a lot of "Mild Flu" "Fake pandemic" people around
Also a lot of young people it will not effect me.
Also think people burnt out with lock downs and not the high percentage of deaths as US/UK. Yet.. hopefully never.

Although as NSW finding out it every state slack
Look at the footy last night in WA
People slack at social distancing.
Does Gucci or whatever in Chaddy really need to open.

Need to keep people locked down.
2 weeks no Bunnings not going to kill someone
2 week Bunnings open might

went to Mogo Zoo last week and as we had to prepurchase our tickets I thought that meant they were restricting numbers. We had to park in the overflow carpark. The place was packed.
After the zoo we wandered the Shops on the highway to spend some money post bushfires. The only shop making any effort and a great effort at that for social distancing was the lolly shop.

@Bluey , you are talking about a lot of individuals and a population that has had so much freedom before and NOW do not, and will not, do as they are told for the good of the nation. They will not be regimented or disciplined regardless of the fines or consequences. Remember, civilization is just a thin veneer over animal life and the law of the jungle!!

 

[davemc]

people are social animals.. we posting here as well
Hard to change that..
A lot of people moving this around are either "short of a few" or not following rules as does not apply to them.
Not sure how you fix stupid.

I say @Drover , if you see a very new (5 days old!) AOR Quatum towed by a white 2018 200 series Toyota Cruiser, it will be the couple with the new van who were camped near us at Booloumba Creek. Their names are Jeff and Ingrid. They are real "newbies" to vanning and needed a lot of help and guidance when with us, from setting up to solar generation. Any assistance you can give them if you come across them would be appreciated I am sure. Eidsvold was their second stopover during their shakedown with new van and they will be there for a few days camping off grid I think. I will be making a post on how they started and what mistakes they made.

probably parked too far away for that

 

[chartrock]

Ah @Drover, while they are picking on you they are leaving me alone.

 

[Drover]

I better make sure I crop my photos before posting I think and the shower block is closed otherwise I would be parked well away.............and @Boots in Action thats for the warning, showed someone how to get their HWS going on their new Jayco/Fiat house boat but I steered clear of the slide out section that wouldn't operate, I know enough about them to stay well away from that issue.

 

[Billrw136]

Bill, I hope Anne is ok and the tests come back clear. I can understand dropping the child minding as we must protect the kids. Glad to hear the house is under way, @Billrw136, be nice if you are in sometime next year. Take care and look after that lady.

We got the result back - all clear - good news...now for her to recover from the nasty cold...

 

[Drover]

Great news Bill, don't go into shops without a cattle prod ....

I have no idea what your talking about...

Its a freecamp Dave, not an Apartment ... there's an obligation to share

He is getting older Crusty. Up a few times at night.

We arrived late arvo at a freecamp at Point Lowly in SA and the oversubscribed spread of Grey Gonads hogged all the choice spots spreading their crap out over large acreage, leaving a 45deg pitched jump up which would have us lodged btw the rubbish bins and public toilet block. I would have struggled to stay on the bed without a climbing harness. We parked up just to have a wander around before we moved off to find something else at the late hour. Wandering down to the water of the small enclosed marina/ramp area, we passed the large flat vacant carpark looking area (up behind the van in the pic). It was a lovely spot right on the water and hard as we searched couldn't find a sign prohibiting us from camping there ..... obviously we werent allowed, but in the absence of a sign I decided to roll the dice and propped right on the edge of the high watermark. Beautiful, but fully expecting to short shifted the following day.

Following morning wandering up to the toilet and had a chat with one of more friendly Gonads, and the topic came up of our sneaky stealth camping on the water's edge. They laughed ... stealth camping?? no no no you idiot, camp where you like Crusty, all the Gonads are just hogging the toilets for the night time multiple Point Lowly Gift dash to the dunny and they cant camp any more than 20ft from a dunny without blowing a valve. Youll never find a Gonad all the way over where you are Crusty ... well not without a nappy anyway

 

[Drover]

I first look for the toilets then head as far away as possible, no yippy yappers or some ding bat parking on top....actually free camps with no dunnies are best....if this place had showers it would be packed with the doderers.

Good news Bill. Happy to hear it's all clear . Take care
