Love Oz


We’re becoming Nr 1 Oz fans. They’re polite, helpful, exceedingly social, and, surprise surprise, obey every law that’s thrown their way. I thought UK/Sweden were nanny and super nanny, but this place… It’s Australia Day on 26th Jan and the police want to ban the sale of alcohol. It’ll be like New Year’s Eve without bubble.

Ended up next to one of the nicest families you could ever wish to meet. Funny, generous – And loads of them. They started by loaning us space on their washing line, then brought us round a fish (!) starter, then invited us round to some people they knew (we’d never met) after the no talent show. And believe me, there wasn’t any.

So you drink some wine. And maybe a beer or two, then they invite you for more, and more – then the security guard comes and asks you to be quiet.

On his sixth visit he began to look a bit forlorn as one Swede and one Pom tried their best to close the roof on their camper. Said Oz family lent us a few towels to cover the roof with. And said security guard? To be honest I’m not sure., Might be a bit embarrassing if two people our age are banned from a camper van park.
