More of Mulwala

My last day in Mulwala was spent with my aunt Martha. It was very nice. I saw where my cousin works. He's helping to renovate a site that will become a car sales place. Afterward we went to the Mulwala Water-ski Club and had some tea, played some mock- Kino (a lottery type game), and had lunch. We were very glad we didn't bet any money on Kino, because we weren't very good. Out of 8 numbers we picked , the most we could get were 3. In the end, that would have won whole $2 though! It was nice to just sit and chat. At one point we we tried to list all the U.S. Presidents we could think of. I think we got to 20 maybe. Not bad really.

After lunch we went for a drive along the shore of the Mulwala lake and then headed home. It was just nice to relax.

For dinner we went to a distant relative's 18th birthday party. It was at a nice Italian restaurant in Yarawanga (across the river from Mulwala). We were there for nearly four hours! I'd have pictures to post, but I don't have a camera anymore. I'll tell you about it in the next entry.

It was good to see almost the whole McKee family. The only one I didn't get to see was my cousin in Perth. Hopefully I'll get to see her and her newborn later in the year! :)

All in all a good time was had in Muwala. I finally got to bed at 12:30am... and got 5 hours of sleep before I had to get up to catch the bus and train back to Melbourne.
