Oh dear, things are not looking good here in Australia. Covid-19 is
playing havoc with crowd gatherings so much so that main sporting events
are to go ahead but without supporters, the largest show in NSW, Sydney
Easter Show has been cancelled and last night Ian received an email to
say our Ghan trip may not go ahead. We have several more flights to
take, Queensland, Darwin, Adelaide, Singapore (we should have a 5 day
stopover but no idea if that will go ahead) before we arrive home and
maybe they too will be cancelled. Crikey....we may become illegals
through no fault of our own.
Friday 13th
Woke to rain. Not the best of days to spend wandering a Convict settlement. We had bought the tickets so a little drop of rain would not deter us. Trouble was that the drizzle in the morning turned into a downpour for most of the afternoon. To say we were drenched was a bit of an understatement. A complete change of clothes was necessary. So its a bit of a cop-out I know but rather than write all about the place, I thought it best that you
click on this link to read this fascinating piece of history for yourselves. I wouldn't do it justice. Not so many photos today...rain and camera's do not mix.
