Mackenzie : Today we went into town and had a look around and then we drove to a place called Gilgandra Caravan Park. On the way here we saw a truck accident. We set up the van and had tea.
Today we spent the morning at Cobar, we had a really good look around the shops and I have found a new favourite gift store up here, just a short trip for a gorgeous present! We went up to the lookout over the mine site, its not as big as the super pit but it is a massive hole in the ground. We watched a car drive down into the mine, we took guesses at whether he could or would drive into the opening, so the kids say he will stop and cant go in and I say he will drive in, so he stops at the site office at the bottom, they cheer and think they have won, he gets a hard hat on and drives right in and disappears, I cheer as I've won, oh apparently not, they then walk off together saying so do you think we should ask for a chocolate or a lolly as a prize......hmmm I didn't know there was a prize involved and kids I will give you a tip - you don't win a prize if you guess wrooooong! Sorry bad mum coming out in me but when you get to my Uno game you will know why. Before we knew it, it was nearly 12 o'clock so we headed back to the van. We headed off and came across a very bad truck accident, the police were setting up to block the road which remained closed for the rest of the day and into the evening. Apparently there was no other road to use so they were looking into a bush track to direct people down. We got to Gilgandra really late in the afternoon after our morning of shopping so a quick lap of town and straight to the caravan park. We have stayed here before and it is a gorgeous park with lots of space between sites but this time we came across a woman, owner or manager who was less than pleasant, the guy here is great value but she was rude and certainly not meant for a customer service role, when Dan told me how rude she was I thought she may have just been having a moment but 3 more encounters with her over the next 18 hours proved me wrong, she was just plain rude, sorry lady we wont be back and will tell our friends how lovely your park is but how rude you are. We were in for another cold night, but with a free clothes dryer we did all our washing and went back and forwards in the freezing cold until midnight taking it in turns with everyone else to dry our clothes. We had another game of Uno, I win the first round with all 3 of them with full hands of cards, only to have the kids throw their cards back in the pile and not add them up, yep I've been scammed again, and then of course I lose the following three games with the most woeful hands. I'm loving these family games - haha not!
