The rest of the day will herein be known as the lost day. We just wandered around aimlessly not knowing what to do with ourselves. We drove 40kms for a supposed world class mud crab sandwich but the place was closed. We then drove to the nearest place that advertised the local treat where we were greater by non other than the Lunchlady herself. Funny, I don’t remember seeing Sloppy Jo on the menu. Come to think of it there were no hoagies and grinders either. Weird.
Anyhoo, the shear thought of this woman makes my stomach heave. As if the sight of her scummy teeth stained uniform and dirty medical dressings around her legs were not bad enough the sandwich was two pieces of untoasted Wonder beard with a chunk of butter and a glob of sauce atop a slop of mudcrab riddled with bits of cartilage and hard shell. Tasty! We parked ourselves next to the murky water of the bay and gagged down our lunch before heading to the see a giant gum boot (rubber boot.)
As you can imagine this stop was rather anticlimactic. We were going to see a freaking giant rubber boot, how exciting could it be! Once that MUST SEE was out of the way we drove back to Bingal and were happy to find that there was still room for us at the very cheap council caravan park with the absolute best view.
We had a chat with Peter and Diana who showed us the real trick to opening a coconut (AN AXE!) We then met Mel and Drew who were traveling around in a Hippy van but were on their way to New Zealand where they were picking up a Spaceship. We gave them the grand tour of our home away from home and they were pretty excited at the prospect of having a fridge and dvd player on the next leg of their trip.
