Gol Gol (Mildura) ….. a Day of Rest by the Murray River….
Finally off the dirt and into the busy town of Mildura ....we stopped and re-provisioned, or so I thought, at the local IGA & bottle shop.
After what seemed ages Sue came back to the kombi empty handed.....why? , I asked...
I can't find my wallet......Oh FFS !!
I went in to pay for the groceries that were waiting at a checkout while Sue started tearing the fully packed kombi apart.....getting nowhere fast, we decided to setup at the campsite and look for it properly.
An Ensuite site was a welcome luxury and we settled in, determined to find Sue's wallet.
No luck and we figured that the last time we saw it was back at Mungo when we were messing around booking the site.......
No way was I going back on that road on the chance that her wallet would be there, so Sue tried calling the National Parks in an effort to connect to the Visitor's centre at Mungo.
After what seemed like an hour of being switched through to the wrong people (every time), Sue spoke to someone that would look into it for us.......
The dilemma was, do we cancel the c/cards and try and organise replacements?, or do we hold out and hope the old mate would turn up Sue's wallet at the Centre.......
Next morning Sue had a call from National Parks to say that her wallet had been found (at the Visitor's Centre) and would be forwarded to a place of our choice.
At least we could relax a bit more knowing that all her stuff was (hopefully !) intact.
