Woke up early but still raining. Eventually full bladders and a slight break in the weather enabled us to escape the tent for the BBQ shelter. While we were waiting for the rain to clear we were joined by other campers under the shelter. Tony was prevailed upon to render assistance to the Ladies toilets where paper had run out. Although the Gents had plenty it was secured with a padlock so he went back to his tent and grabbed his personal supply. What a good bloke!! The women showed their appreciation in the time honored manner.
We were tortured by the aroma of other campers cooking breakfasts while we were limited to muesli. It continued raining until 10.30 am when it finally stopped and we were able to get under way. About 10 kms down the road the trailer wheel punctured again and we pulled to the side of the road to repair the tube. While we stopped Tony switched on his phone and read an email from Greg Rose inviting us to stay at his place. Tony gave Greg a call and accepted his offer and then we went on to Swansea for lunch. We ate our "footlongs" beside Lake Macquarie. Following Greg's directions we found the Fernleigh Track and enjoyed a lovely ride down to Greg's home. We both thought the bike path was one of the best we have ridden.
Arriving at Greg's beautiful home we were greeted by Greg and sat down for a chat in the back garden. We lay out our wet tents to dry and Andrew Howard arrived to say "hi" and because he thought there was free beer. For some reason he wants to move to Melbourne. He says it is so he can see more Demons games but that seems too bizarre, even though the Demons are the premier AFL club!! Must be because he wants to become an elite data analyst. Greg cooked a lovely dinner on the barbecue and demonstrated to us what a SNAG he is. Great BBQ Greg.
