Went for a quick drive through 'town' just to see what was what......and.......we found a WOOLWORTHS SUPERMARKET..........we were having withdrawal symptoms.
Nothing was open of course - except for 1 pub - took note of that so we could return later for dinner - pantry is bare, fridge holds cool air, have no beer, dear oh dear.............
Drove a couple of klms out of town to Chinaman's Creek Dam. Made our way to the dam wall and what did we see before us, fishing...........wait for it..........A CHINAMAN! We didn't ask him if it was his dam though. Quite a nice dam, pity local vandals have had to make a mess of the facilities though. The dam is a little bit low so we were able to drive quite a way round the dam.....saw a track and 'cos we have a 4wd we took it....and ended up on the main road where we entered the dam area. Took a few pics and then twas time to go back to the pub (Leichhardt Hotel) for a feed. Roast lamb for dinner was really yum yum.
All the other pubs were closed; they mustn't have heard the 'early closing' had finished.........or maybe that's the rules? we were also asked to leave a pub in Cooktown at 8:00 pm on a Sunday night.
