Had a business catch up day with collecting mail, posting mail, bills etc. Car was also serviced, windscreen repaired (large stone chip!!!) and all bits & pieces now back in order. Met a lovely couple from Perth, Peter & Pam, who were camped next to us. They are leaving here and heading to Kakadu before going back down the West Coast. Had happy hour with them as well as Joy & Wayne before going out for dinner at the Buffs Club. What an experience that was……….rang Buffs Club to get the shuttle to pick us up. Lester the shuttle driver looked like Grumpy from Snow White & the 7 Dwarfs and sounded like him when he yelled at us to “put our seat belts on” as we got into the van. Then it was off on a 35km drive to go 2km to the club. Dropped off & picked up all over Mt.Isa at breakneck speed. Joy & I were in the back seat hanging on for dear life as we hurtled around corners and screamed to a halt at intersections. I eventually had a fit of the giggles thinking we were actually on a ride at Luna Park. Fantastic meal at the Buffs club and then it was back into the van with Grumpy Lester to do it all over again on the way home – very funny…..
