Second night

We had planned to stay at Morven but with the time we spent in Chinchilla and Miles, it was going to be late afternoon before arrived. Certainly dont want to be on the road at that time out there if it can be avoided. Between the road trains and kangaroos, its best to travel during full daylight hours.

Mitchell was coming up and I checked it out on Wikicamps, two icons for caravans come up, Warren already has the filters set for at least power, showers, toilets and pet friendly. Mitchell sounded okay but there was another one only forty ks further on. It was at the back of a pub in a little town that sounded like it was doing it tough and it was only $12.50 a night. Even showgrounds are 20 or 25, yep we will go on and support them.

There were some comments from a year ago, mentioning that the guy needed to get some hospitality skills, apparently he was grumpy and a couple of dogs were walking through the pub. Other comments were okay.

Well, we pulled in and there was another couple starting to set up. I walked into the pub and found a lady sitting by the fire, she took the money and then stated that we were the second group and she wouldnt take any more, there was power points for six. I asked if they were doing dinner, it was Saturday night. Without answering me, she just yelled out to I guess the kitchen and got a "Suppose we have to" answer.

The other campers told us where the toilets and showers were located.

Six thirty came and we presented ourselves to the dining room. It was a black board menu and we both chose fish and chips, the lady took our order and went off. A grumpy man came out after a few minutes and put wood onthe fire then went behind the counter, I walked over to pay and he questioned what I was paying for, obviously not a lot of communication happening. Still noone else in the pub but us.

A few minutes went by while we enjoyed the fire and then our meal was brought to a table just behind us. Knives and forks and condiments were brought over from the bar. It was a nice meal, a full plate of chips and pices of fish on top, cost was again $12.50.

We did feel that we were an inconvenience but showers were good and plenty of hot water, what else do one needs.
