This is getting serious!

It has now been three nights with no power and no running water. We pulled into the main van park at Mataranka, which was about 50 metres from the thermal pool, but they could only offer a place near the bar, which was a running live show... so we jumped back into the car and drove out to the 12-Mile-Yards campsite, itself offering no power, and no running water, which was Ev's preference. I can offer no rational explanation for this strange turn of events. The peace and quiet of the unpowered sites is a real gift in comparison with the powered camp sites, where all manner of noises play on into the evening. But... who can explain these strange turn of events?
