We headed off from Surat with plans of staying at Injune but when we got there the wind was still freezing so I decided we should just keeping going as far as we could in the hope that it would be warmer. The kids were not too happy with my decision I think Chloe said to Brad something like 'You know this trip isn't just about Mum, its supposed to be a fun holiday not just driving' They both did really well as we ended up driving for nearly 5 hours with only 2 very quick stops. We encountered our 1st mountain, which we are trying to avoid at all costs but these ones snuck up on us. Luckily it was only 1.6kms of steep stuff and Bruce handled it nicely!
We stopped at Rolleston for the night, another small little caravan park in a tiny town, the wind had died down in the afternoon and even the locals were all saying how cold and windy this week had been.
We went for a walk around Rolleston, stopped in for a quick beer/lemonade depending on age at the pub. As usual Chloe went a little crazy with some lemonade in her system so we headed to the park for awhile to wear her out before heading back to the caravan park, where the kids played happily for the rest of the afternoon with Chloe's animals in the grass clippings under the trees. It really is the small things that keeps them happy!
