They also had a large number of coconuts lying on the lawns for all the tourists to pick up and take home (it probably saves the staff the job). Quite a sight seeing all these grey nomads flitting around the coconut groves pinching coconuts, then it was on to the foreshore and the deck of the Tin Shed, overlooking the bay and mangrove lined shore line.
We had salt and pepper squid with chips, prawn salad and mussels in a herb and tomato broth - some had a Strawberry blonde cocktail, another a white wine and others beer. We have circumstantial evidence that some of our close friends, whilst traversing the roads of Victoria, had McDonalds and coke, for their lunch -- (poor buggers).
The women then had a little stroll along the shops, stopping at the "nothing more than $22" shop and trying on everything in the shop--half a dozen blokes standing around outside trying not to look bored.
After a couple of little stops on the way home it was back to camp to light the fire and open the coconuts.
Tomorrow is a special day as the Bills and Widdowson's are going to set up a table with wine and nibbles and the video camera and watch closely whilst the Dudley's try and get enough camping gear, food, water, clothes, bedding and alcohol to last them 3-4weeks, plus three people into their car, as a practice run for next Tuesday!
