Well and Truly Tourist Season

I don't know about you, but the idea of travelling the roads free as a bird sounds pretty good to me.  Its July in Mitchell and this is Grey Nomad Season.   The influx of vans and Recreational Vehicles is now upon us.

Since Mitchell boasts both Lemon Pie Gift Shop and the Great Artesian Spa plus a few good places to eat and a good dress shop and great Pharmacy and medical services,  we're a pretty good small town to visit.  Plus our van park is pretty good.  There's been a bush poet staying there for quite a long time to entertain the nomads and they build a big fire up at night and eat damper and yarn into the wee hours apparently.

Our visitors are good for business too and we welcome them.  Today is sunny and warm despite the freezing early hours and we have been busy at Lemon Pie selling souvenir t-shirts and Mor products and silk flowers, photo frames, and lots of other bits and pieces.

The owner of the Mitchell Coffee Shop dropped in and bought some beautiful things.  By the way until she tells me otherwise, her coffee shop is for sale.  Since Mitchell is such a growing town it would be a great investment,  I'm sure.
