It was a lovely morning when we left to drive to the Thirlmere Lakes, near Picton, however, upon our arrival it was cloudy and cool. En route, a hub-cap from “Mum’s” Rover 3,500cc sedan had become dislodged and disappeared into long grass. “Dad” told us that it was worth fifty dollars and to get out and find it. Fortunately, it hadn’t penetrated the grass far for all we could think of was the very real presence of snakes. We arrived home by 5.30 p.m., via the Camden Airport Museum which houses old aeroplanes, and watched the last half an hour of “Harem Scarem”, a film which bears the copyright of 1965 and stars Elvis Presley.
