He was up and down all night - but rallied for the Cobb & Co. mail run this morning. I tell you what McKinnon & Co. put on quite a show. The stage coach ride itself was awesome, but what added to it was the characters that run the whole thing. It is a dad and his two sons - aged in their 20's, they run the rides etc during the tourist season, and then head back to the land for the rest of the year. The dad started the business to prop up their farming so they could feed the cattle in drought time, and it has gone bunter from there.
After the show we dropped Shan back at camp as he was exhausted (fingers crossed it is a food thing and not a viral thing that Finn and I end up with…..).
Finn and I went to the Stockmans Hall of Fame and then came back to camp - I had to wash my hair after the gallop in the stage coach (you end up covered head to toe in god knows what!).
We then went back to the Station Store for the old fashioned tent show. It turns out it was ran by the same family who do the stage coach rides.
Their animals are so well trained, and the guys are a laugh a minute! It is a must do if you are ever in town.
Finn was mostly taken by the fart noises, snakes chasing people out of the out house, and the dog tricks (typical boy).
We got back, checked on the patient, did chores (which in a camper are few and far between), Finn braved the cold pool again (I was wise enough to stay out today!).
We then came back to see if Shan was up for dinner - he decided to stay at camp while Finn and I went to the Woolshed restaurant which is in the park. Shan told Finn that as he was my 'date' he had to pull my chair out and look after me.
He took his job seriously, though he was worried that he didn't have enough 'important stuff' to talk about over dinner. I told him everything he says is important…..he then had an in-depth discussion on Nerf Guns! lol.
When we got to dinner he actually pulled out my chair and pushed it in for me - what a gentleman!.
Anyway enough babble for today - till tomorrow
The Wanderin Watsons (x 2 as one stayed put!)
p.s. Better photos to follow when our technical difficulties subside!
