Lunch under the trees

We’re heading off in the motor-home probably after four more sleeps. Did you used to count sleeps before a big event? We’re heading east then north. Nungarin might be our first stop where we hope to attend a tribute concert to Jimmy Barnes and Cold Chisel. We will buy tickets tomorrow if they’re not sold out. If we stay at any of three caravan parks at nearby towns, we can catch free buses to the concert which will be held at Mangowine Homestead, an abandoned farmsite. The photo shows Vince, his brother and our great-nephew having lunch at Beringbooding Rock which I’ve written about before. Hopefully Vin and I will be having more lunches in similar pleasant surroundings.

Thanks. We're thinking we might be gone a few weeks at least. The next doctor's appointment isn't till mid-November.

We've got our tickets, thanks, and have booked into the Mukinbudin Caravan Park - another of our great names. A bus will run from the park to the venue.

@JudyEv You're welcome. Yeah, I always think about the names there and try to figure out why they make me smile when you use them.

Off late, I have been having good enough sleeps only once in a while. Yesterday morning I slept well. Else most days, sleep has been short. I have been assigned a new and a more high profile position where I have to keep track of matters even on the weekends. Two nights I slept after 1 in the night. Anyways, that is probably quite a bit of rant! Looks like you have quite a planned and occupied schedule. I would be looking forward to Pictures or may be a collage of pictures! How is the weather in Australia now? In October, Indian cricket team would be heading to Australian shores for a short ODI series. As such, it is not very significant except for the Indian big stars Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli(a big name in Australia) would be playing. Both of them no longer play in International Tests and T 20s. I would be very busy for the next 10 days. May be sometime between 1st and 5th October, I can come and spend a little bit more time here on Mylot. Plus probably start a new Fictional book, the likes of which I have been having less often this year. Have a nice Week ahead!

I hope as you settle into your new position, it might become less busy. Our weather is improving rapidly and today it is lovely and sunny. We won't need a jumper until this evening.

My sleep will be hit and miss as usual. Four sleeps is just a way of counting how long before we leave. And now it's only three sleeps.

@JudyEv - I am glad you got the tickets. I also dislike crowds, I like places with only a few other people around.

Most of these places only have a few other people around usually which suits me very well. We did get tickets, thanks.

Behind and to the right you can see the huge cement tank which catches water off the rock.

It's very convenient in some ways but with a car and caravan, you can leave the caravan behind while you go off exploring.

@JudyEv Yes, if you lock it the inside is safe and it can't be moved easily by any thief.

Mum always told us kids x number of sleeps. I've no idea what the difference is.
