Off to Lake Conjola

Pack up time , and off down the road to another destination . It seems whenever you are packing up and trying to get moving , that you attract the most attention , and people want to talk to you !!! We were supposed to be checked out by 10am - but we managed to get out at 10:45 , after emptying out the tanks and getting out of the place .
 Lyns turn to drive today , and it was through a lot of changing conditions - roadworks and a lot of varying speed limits , undulations , up hill down hill , parking , doing U turns in driveways , reversing and intentional jack knifing . A satisfying drive for her , without any major dramas , and best of all we arrived safely at Lake Conjola , our residence for the next 4 nights .
 Set up with the usual ease and settled down to some lunch - it was a warm day with a lot of humidity -very sticky . We even had some kids say " Nice Van , wow how big is that ". Getting a lot of looks from passers by also .
  We decided to explore Lake Conjola by bike , also to see if we had any mobile service outside the park , but alas no . The office girls told us Optus was having issues at the nearest tower and wouldn't be fixed too quickly , but assured us they were working on the problem . We ended up going out to the highway to make a call where there was some service - so if you are trying to ring us - that is why we are not answering .
  We are about 30m from the lakes edge and will be getting the kayak wet in the next few days . The park is huge with many private onsite vans and about 50 tourist sites . They told us about various rules that we hadn't heard of before - such as how far away you have to be from the front , back & sides of the site for sound pollution and fire risk . The measurements didn't really apply to us as we were too long for most spots - we decided that we wouldn't ring , but just turn up unannounced ,
probably not the best idea given the size of our RV , and the fact their sites were only 10m long /deep.
If we had of rung , they probably would have turned us away .
  We proved again that wherever you go , you can't get away from people you know - Mick Ryles walked past as we were sitting down having cheese & bickies & beer . For those that wouldn't know him , he works for Endeavour Energy at Narellan depot - so it is a work connection .

Guests for lunch tomorrow - Norm & Debbie are coming down . 

 With 4 nights here we will get to do some exploring around the place , Stay tuned !!!
