I felt like a celebrity today in the local shopping centre car park. A lady approached me looking at my wheel cover and asked me if I was THE Cruising Granny on The Grey Nomads Forum.

We are sitting here waiting for dinner. $15 per night, free washing machines and dryers and are able to eat at BHP dining room for $12 smorgasborg. Things can't get much better than that.

Be careful if you're travelling in NQ. I heard that the bushfires are bad around Townsville. Stay safe!

Just finished watching ACA and there was a follow-up on the story last week about the couple who could not get their tennants out of their home when they came back from their trip.
