The name of the vintage shop

Sodden. Muddy. It drizzled most of today. Occasionally it was dry. Occasionally it rained heavily. Unfortunately we set up camp on the low part of the lawn so just outside our front door is a great big mud puddle. I even saw a worm swimming in it tonight. Fortunately it’s dry inside our tent, plus of course we can seek refuge in the house.
This afternoon, once the girls were down, I set off on my own little exploratory mission. I went to Stokers Siding, where there’s a little vintage shop with lots of kitsch stuff. Tried out my photography skills... still a work in progress there. Then I headed towards town, stopping off at the Rainforest Centre. It had some pretty awesome works of art, plus lots of information on the region, but its most impressive feature was the mural featured in the centre of the building. You can check it out on the video below.
Afterwards I ventured into the town (again) and re-explored it at a pace that isn’t permitted when accompanied by husband and children - simple, but it’s such a luxury! My journey home was a little lengthier than on the way in, as I accidentally on-purpose took the scenic route (and a wrong turn or two). All good though, as I saw much more of the region in those few hours than I have all week!

What did Glenn and the girls get up to? I think it was much the same as every other day – Glenn at the shed, girls with the kids and Marion. We cooked and ate up at the house tonight because we didn’t feel like sloshing around in the filth – I think I can see some webbing begin to form between my toes...
