New Castle (November 2015)

There is one last Ochre Health Practice we'd like to visit, and that is in Tea Gardens. The practice manager is again very willing to show is around.  It is a bit smaller than Grafton, much bigger than Hervey Bay, but again no on-call or hospital work. By now unfortunately the weather is getting more cloudy with more rain. Good for the land, but less inviting to explore beaches. The Club in Tea Gardens allows their members to park and stay overnight in their car park, which is a good option for us.

The owners of our bus prior to the previous ones live in New Castle and have invited us to stay in front of their home. It has been nine years since they travelled around and they would like to have a look and show their children, see if they remember. So that is what we do, down south on the M1 to New Castle to rock up to Tim and Cath's home. Furthermore they have friends who are planning a similar adventure to ours and they would like to see what Tim has been so excited about. So here we are in rainy New Castle with people we have never met, but who feel like our friends because we are all united by this massive bus, once interstate passenger coach turned motorhome.

Tim has a printed list of things to do, but we find the rain too much of a deal breaker, so we go shopping instead.
