The Swap Meet noise
stopped about 9.30 last night. The food van behind us served food
during the evening to stall holders who were setting up and camping
there over night. Voices woke us up and when I checked the time it
was 4.00 am. What are they doing up and there already? As the
time passed the noise increased and by 6 am it was full of people
finishing their set up procedure. 6.20 am (Ian looked at the clock)
the music started blaring and 7 am the gates opened and the people
streamed in. By 8.30 am I was sitting out under the awning listening
to the band who were now playing 70’s and 80’s music. Go
Skyhooks and Little River Band. As well as the Swap Meet there was
also a show and shine so Ian had wandered over to check out the cars
on display. He also did a tour of the junk, sorry, items for sale.
One car that took his interest was a 1972 Ford which was still owned by the original owner. He owned the car for 47 years. I'm sure there are not too many people that hold on to a car that long.
He returned about 10
am and we set off on the 30 minute drive to Logan Village. Friends
are living at a lifestyle resort there. We had not seen their home
so we called in for a coffee and checked out their house and also the
facilities that they can use by living there. Very nice with pool,
spa, tennis court, theatre, bowling green, billiards room, craft
room, library and meeting room. They have a rock and roll club,
hiking group and there is also a small gym. We then went over to the
local pub and had lunch, which was very nice. Back to their place
for a bit more catching up before the 30 minute drive back to the
van. We arrived back at about 5 pm and thankfully, 98 % of the Swap
Meet had already been packed up.

Early night as we
had been awake since 4 am.
