Final (by me) 7 day weather report for Beverley..;

Back from Beverley, Magic Bob and Anton still there, will give a roll call and some pic's later.
My lips are sealed about a certain solo who shall remain nameless who was told in my presence by a female resident artist in the Art Gallery at Beverley that even if the Art Gallery is closed he can knock on her living quarters door (she lives above the gallery temporarily) at any time, however as I said, I know nothing......hint......he was the only solo at the GTG....
And then there was another GN who has trouble backing who was relegated to 2 wheel transport by his wife, can't say who though (photo's later).......as Billeees would say "what happens at GTG's stays at GTG's".....he he !

Yes, the clues I give are about as cryptic as a news bulletin Jules !
All in good fun though!
Roll call in order of arrival;
Duh (Vic & Carol)
Loki (Anton)
Ogre (Owen & Glenda)
Magic Bob (Bob & Jane)
Pudestcon (Ian - aka "Pud" and Gay)
Unfortunately Jayco Gypsy (Cathy) was unable to attend due to a very severe wog that was going around, her adult daughter had to be hospitalised and Cathy and her husband Mark also went down with it - Hope they all get well again soon!
The CP at Beverley is a very short walk through to the main street and central to all the shops and info centres, the Caretaker/Manager there Janet is very friendly and ensured we were all well taken care of, I wish all park employees were like her, she is a credit to the Council.
On Magic Bob's recommendation, we all had lunch on Saturday in the dining room at the Beverley Hotel in the main street, just as well as we all had to waddle home to the CP very close by. The meals were "enormous" and the plates almost twice the size of a normal plate, not everyone could finish theirs. No need for sweets, there just wasn't room!!!
After visiting the other attractions in the main streets, cafe's, IGA, Art Gallery, various shops etc, before the arrival of some of the others, Owen and Glenda took some of us to an extinct volcano called "County Peak" way out in the countryside. The steep sides were covered in shattered stone, but this did not deter Anton who climbed up to the top. We were satisfied with taking his photo instead from the bottom.
The weather was fantastic (as was the company), nice sunny days, a little cold at night and some overnight light rain but otherwise weather was perfect. We had a couple of gatherings in the campers kitchen and happy hours on the lawn area next to Magic Bob and Janes caravan.
Thanks to all those who attended and made this gathering a great success and to Cathy. Cathy said she would plan another one sometime in June or July and post it here, work permitting. Photo's to follow later.

Glad to hear you all had a great time. I'm extremely jealous that I couldn't be there with you all. I will be wanting full disclosure
Family is on the mend and they do come first.
Can't say I enjoyed the rush trip to the hospital or the days after. Could do with out that kind of excitement these days.
Hopefully we will be able to plan another UWE in the not to distant future.

Would have been great to have had you both there Jenny and Barry (memories of Dwellingup) but Cathy said she may be holding another down south somewhere possibly in July, so keep your eyes on the GTG's, if you around then you may get there.
Having said that, a lot nicer and warmer up at Pardoo then down south, lol !

This was on Wiki about Quajabin Peak, also known as County Peak.
Apparently some strange events happen there that so far have been unexplained, see this link;
This is the peak that Anton climbed, he didn't mention anything when he got back down, but he did have a strange look in his eyes !

G'day All,
Thanks for making Gay and I very welcome at Beverley. It was good to meet you all, and as a surprise to us, there was also another mob we knew from being in a caravan club some years ago. So what with lunching with you guys, happy hour with you lot, and with the other mob, then barby roo snags with the other mob we left worn out but contented on Sunday for a leisurely drive home via York.
Catchya on the next one maybe.
