Our last week in Mitchell is a busy one

With cockroaches, clothes moths, mice, dust and mould in mind, this last week of our timeslot in Mitchell, Queensland, seems to be one of almost continual clothes washing, packing and cleaning. I've emptied the linen cupboard and packed the contents into two large suitcases because the cupboard cannot be sealed against pests. Likewise some of our clothes. Bedding cannot be left on beds, it has to be bundled up, wrapped in sheets and placed on top of tables -- along with pillows and cushions.
The contents of the pantry need to be either transferred to the caravan or the foods sealed in tin, stainless steel or glass containers. Computers we take with us as well as several boxes of books and research notes. Outside, Doug is busy cutting grass, mulching garden beds and putting a dripper system on 60 or so young trees he's planted. Add to that a full social calendar and its a busy week!
