Cowell

We hooked up for the long trek (470klm) to Cowell to catch up with my old mate Lenny Sims. Lenny used to be a commercial diver on the tuna farms in Port Lincoln where I used to work for Lucky ‘S’ fishing.
I was bloody great to catch up; we were made very welcome and parked up in Lenny’s front yard over the long week end. We we hanging out for Pizza so asked Lenny if they made pizza in town, Yep was the reply, we ordered two large ones and went to pick them up. Next time I will ask Lenny if anyone in town made “good pizzas”. We were very disappointed as the pizzas left a lot to desire. Ah well we made good with a bottle of Chivas Regal and a two litre coke, yep! Slept well that night!. Lenny and I used to have a bottle of scotch and a two litre coke every Friday or Saturday and think nothing of it the next morning. Must have been something in the ice blocks!!!!One of the other guys from Port Lincoln was Schultz, another diver turned truckie. Both these guys are now driving road trains. Well as it turns out Schultz lives just up the road from Lenny and we were having a BBQ at his place the next night. There was more food than you could poke a stick at, and did I mention the scotch???
My turn to cook the next night. I did one of Wolfgang’s curries, turned out bloody beautiful, I did o small tame one for Fae at the same time, geeess I am getting good.
More food the next night with Lenny cooking a roast pork for us all, beautiful crackling as well as roast potatoes, carrots etc. Plus desert!!!! I got ta leave this place as I will soon be the size of a block of flats instead of a house!!
We left Cowell on Tuesday to head down the road to Arno Bay for a couple of weeks then on to Port Lincoln.
