Day 249 Tuesday 15th October 2013; Location - Orroroo Rest Area

After packing up we drove through the towns of Orroroo and Peterborough, what beautiful quaint little country towns.

Peterborough had some steamtrains and a rail museum. Both main streets had sculptures.

After a quick look we headed back to the black top and kept heading east. We got to the Cutona Rest Area and decided to make it a short day and set up camp.

Another easy night for me in the kitchen, sausages and left overs for dinner.

This rest area was like a rubbish tip, everyone had dumped their rubbish all over the place, despite the fact that there was bins provided, disgusting...... You really had to watch where you were standing and Rena had to watch where she played.

We went to bed at about 8.30pm and at 9.30pm a truck pulled in to the rest area, proceeded to put his choke on and must have went to sleep for about 3 1/2 hours with his engine revving. At 1 am he decided to turn his choke off idle the engine for about 10 mins and drive off.

GRRR!!!!!! at one stage was ready to get up and ask him to turn it off, but you just don't know. Thanks to that inconsiderate truck driver I didn't get much sleep. (there was a truck stop just down the road don't know why he chose the car rest area instead).
