Day 14
Wednesday 27th Feb
Kimba to Wudinna
106km
In the morning an old bloke called Rob greeted us. He was a 70year old man who now looked after the park, and was really proud of his efforts. He told us all about his upbringing, his health issues, his mates, his cousins, his world. Rob and most people were really keen for a chat in Kimba, and it was hard to find time to finally get some food, and actually leave the town with out having a chat with a local.
We left the town and began our ride for the day. We were about 40kms into the trip when we caught up with Brian from Iron Knob who was also driving to Wudinna to check out a motor for a freezer. He said he wouldn’t be there long, so we said we’ll catch up with him on his way home.
During the ride we joked about Brian spending all day in the pub, and how much trouble he would be in wit Michelle when he got back to Iron Knob. Sure enough, we turned up in town, and the only way we could find the pub, was by finding Brian’s ute out the front. He said he hung round for us, which he probably did, but I reckon the beer for the better of him.
We turned up just in time for dinner, and had 10mins to order something. It was $10 roast night, and the girl at the counter was ken to pack up, so she said we could have a roast for $7. So how could we refuse. We helped ourselves to some vegies, and gave the plates back to get some roast lamb. They came back mountainous. At home mum makes a pretty massive roast, but I think this is the most roast lamb I have eaten in one sitting. And for $7 I reckon it’s the best value roast I will ever have. Score!
That night we set up our tents at the Caravan Park over the road. Reception was closed, so we thought it would be cool to set up, and just pay in the morning. Sleepy Sleepy.
