Lock 1 @ Blanchetown
Arrived in Waikeri on Wednesday afternoon & booked into caravan park. Needed a shower after a couple days of "bird baths". We will be doing a short housesitting job here for 6 days starting next Sunday.

Lions park!!!
On Thursday went to meet our new housesit owners who live 5 kms on the other side of the river via the ferry crossing. Bronwyn & Ian live on 40 acres with 150M of river frontage. They are a really lovely friendly couple who have just sold the local bakery after 40 years & looking forward to retirement & getting a life after working 7 days a week for years.
We have 2 Siberian huskies, old labrador, 2 cats & 30 chooks to look after. Went for lunch & didn't leave moved straight into guest bedroom!!!
