Thursday 29 August 2019 - Dalby - Kiamkillinbun

Back on the road today and reached Dalby in time for lunch.  We parked a couple of blocks from the city centre (nearest we could get with van in tow) and strolled around.  Quite a good array of stores.  After we had had our fill of shops (probably 10 minutes worth!) we had some lunch and then went to the supermarket to stock up.  Lugged the shopping back to the van and stowed it away before heading about 20 km out of town to a caravan park in Kiamkillinbun.  We were the only travellers there.   They have about 20 permanent vans but only 2 were occupied while we were there.   In the township there is a pub and about 4 houses with the caravan park.   We walked down to the pub which was 2 houses away and ate our evening meal there.  There were 4 locals sitting at the bar and 2 others playing pool.  They all spoke to us while we were ordering our meal but we then sat in the dining room to eat while the 3 children of the woman working in the kitchen watched tv.  Strolled back to the van where we decided it had cooled down enough to warrant winter pyjamas.  During the night I had to get up and get an extra blanket out and we even had to turn the heater on the next morning to warm the van up before venturing out of bed.  Not used to the cold we had been sleeping with just the sheet and pulling the doona up overnight.
