Woke up (still in Longreach) and decided to have a shower - not great water pressure but passable. Anyway, lathered up and just then someone else started up the shower beside me - now this would not normally be a problem, however my low pressure shower suddenly became less than a trickle, really just a 'collection of drips'. What was I to do with soap everywhere? I waited of course hoping for the trickle to return to its previous former flow. This was not to be so I wrapped the towel around me, gathered up my clothes, soap, etc. (still dripping wet and covered in soap and planning on dashing across to the disabled toilet across the aisle because I thought it might have better pressure) and opened the door........ the door fell off its freakin top hinge onto the ground....... and I was not dressed in my work gear, so there it lay. Anyway, to end a long story,the disabled shower was great aned when I returned to the block later, the door was fixed!!
Well, at 8:15am off we went to Winton - 177 kilometres which we managed to do in 1 3/4 hours.
We had a counter lunch at the Gregory Hotel where Banjo Patterson first publicly performed Waltzing Matilda; and then went to the Matilda Centre in town.
Tomorrow we are driving out to Lark Quarry to see the dinosaur footprints, etc.
Our National Seniors Cards look like being winners. We have used them twice in the last two days and received $17 in discounts. I can't remember what they cost - something like $30-40 a year for anyone over 50. They are going to save us money....
