I had a lazy pack up as I was aiming to get to the Mitchell Bakery around 8 am for brekkie. At about 7:30 am a couple with a large van pulled in and set up on the top section of the camping area and then about 10 mins later he has the whipper snipper out clearing the long grass around his van. Very organized. I had a bacon and egg roll at the bakery and then headed east to Roma where I refueled the car and stretched my legs a bit in the park. Then it was north east to Taroom.
I got there just after midday and couldn't find a bakery so I had to have a Ned Kelly burger at the coffee shop. Not too bad. I sat in the shade in the local park and caught up on some email and internet things and booked the evenings camp site at Lake Murphy Conservation Park. There were two other bookings for the night but no one else has showed up. The camp site is great, green grass nicely mowed, well defined sites with a toilet and a shelter shed in the day use area. Some shade trees around the outside as well.
I went for the walk to see the lake, it ended up that the scratchy grass and prickles defeated my crocs, so I continued on the longer walk around the park area but there wasn't a lot to see and the temperature was in the mid thirties.
So I headed back to the car and had several options, 1. Put the walking boots on and try and make it to the lake to see if there was any water, 2. Get my comfy chair out and have a cold drink or 3. Get the drone out and fly it over the lake for a look. I combined 2 and 3 and got the comfy chair and cool drink and then flew the drone over the lake. It's more impressive from the air.
As there was still no one around I decided on having a shower, so I got some water from the rain water tank, heated it up a little and cleansed myself of several days of accumulated dirt and grime.
As it's still quite warm I decided on cold meat and salad for dinner and went off to bed to read when it got dark. A car and caravan turned up in the dark around 7:30 pm.
