BRIDGEWATER

We awoke to rain again this morning! We slowly packed and hooked up the Suzuki and then after refueling etc. headed for Bridgewater, arriving at the Recreation Reserve there about 3pm, which is where we are to stay whilst helping as volunteers for BlazeAid. After registering and getting our name tags we found a good place to park Lucky Pigs on the other side of the football oval as there are some toilets close by, but unfortunately no water and the power is limited and showers are available in the clubrooms, so we will need to be self sufficient for awhile, we have over 300 litres of water on board, so we will be OK for awhile and will need to go fill up from a tap later as required I suppose. Our solar panels will keep everything electrical running and if not we always have the genset to fall back on.
We have tea provided for us at 6pm in the clubrooms (get to meet everybody then too) and breakfast is at 6-7am in the mornings. Lunch is supplied by the farmer on whose property we are helping on the day, so that should be quite interesting too, especially listening to the volunteers returning today and what they had for their lunches!
