25th July
Our
trip northward along the Lincoln Highway took us through small towns named
Tumby Bay, Port Neill and onto Cowell where we spent the night. I have spoken in the past of the tourist
information people being helpful, knowledgeable and friendly – well today we
struck the opposite. A very lacklustre approach was displayed by the person who
had the information office and who also ran a takeaway fish and chip shop. There was no interest from him telling us
what Cowell had to offer, so we found a caravan park for the night, enabling us to get good TV
reception to watch the final episode of Master Chef, went for a walk and and determined
we would move in the morning.
There
were two features we found for ourselves in Cowell, one being a shopfront which
had lovely painted murals of the local area and a gift/patchwork shop with a
delightful lady serving customers.
