We bloody froze last night. It was the coldest night since we arrived in Oz and its taken us a while to come too.. Bright and sunny it maybe, but Lins back off to bed to get the sleep shes missed out on. While I catch up on the bloggy thing. All sorted, Lin refreshed, it's a quick shower and shave and on into town for a spot of brunch overlooking the bay. Bleeding town might be expensive, but its got some terrific views. That done, we're off back to camp for a lazy afternoon. As we pull onto the camp I notice a platform running through the rushes, so while Lin decided's to chill and have a read, Im off to explore. Turns out it's part of a conservation area and runs right through the wetlands and pauses briefly a a hill. In for a pennie... up I go. At the top is a Cafe, restaurant and a general store with a single petrol pump. (General stores out here sell almost everything, from fishing bait to hair shampoo). With me curiosity sated, I'm missing Lin so back I go, still knee deep in her book, chilling out in the shade. The evenings drawing in, so we have a cold supper of Lins egg rice (how she made it with what we've got, beats me). We spend some time watching the Roo's bounce about in the field behind us till the light starts to go, then watch the stars for a while. There aint words to describe the sky out here and if I try, Im gonna sound all poofy, but they are really something. Thats us for the night, so with spare bedding on standby, it's off to bed.
Yea, still missing everyone, Yea, we still love ya all. (we really, really, do) xxxxx John and Lin
More Roo's in the field by the tent.
The view from inside the tent and yes that is Sir's stetson you can see just hanging above the door, ''wherever I lay my hat !!!!!'' comes to mind..
This is the boardwalk that John took on his walk up into the hills.
If you put this and the above picture side by side, you can get a cross view. Its really pretty and all water, canals and lakes.
and more....
More views....
The bridge ( not too far !!!) that john crossed on his hike. This land is all part of the reserve we stayed on.
