It was the day that we were heading off to Mount Gambier. We did the washing at the campsite so we got out of the site about10:00am. We headed to the cafe near the info centre to get a collective spoon, key ring and sticker. We then headed off to Mount Gambier, it was 100km so it took about 1hr.
We arrived and decided to go and set up the caravan at the showgrounds before visiting Grandpapa. We decided to have lunch at the show grounds so we went and got something random from Bakers Delight. We waited for the camp host because we needed to get the toilet key. After we got the key we headed for Grandpapa's house arriving about 20mins later.
Aunty Val met us in the garden and took us on a pre-tour before Grandpapa came out of the house. Grandpapa is blind and deaf but knows his was way around the huge garden, living there for about 30yrs.
Grandpapa took us on a big tour around the garden telling us stories about the Second World War. He showed us a piece of burl which his friends had cut for him that look like Australia with Tasmania still connected. We fed the ducks and geese bread and watched the ducks on the water.
After a long time in the garden we headed off to Aunty Val and Grandpapa's new house. It was a long drive to the house but we arrived in the end. We had a look around the house and in the shed out the back before heading off to dinner. We were having dinner at a pub called the Commercial. I had the special which was chicken Kiev for dinner which was nice. For dessert I had sticky date pudding but we all had an eye on Sarah's dessert, a huge bowl of ice cream and sprinkles. It took her a long time to finish. So it was time to head back. We went straight to bed.
