Today began with the boys attempting to fix Dad’s dud
battery etc etc. which meant a slightly late start. Mary J, Kerri and Reve took
off before us for a walk.
We started with communal pancakes on Steve’s magnificent
grill.
Off we set for a whole 60 something kilometres including a road
to nowhere, a view over Googs lake, and several
sandhills that challenged a few (who shall remain nameless)
Went to Googs lake for a walk on/in the lake (a thin salt
crust over mud) with temperatures well into the 30’s we were glad to hit the
track for an early camp by the lake, which we shared with large popn of flies until the sun set. The
last of the prawns were quickly devoured in the hope that the flies would all
swarm on the scraps…they didn’t!!!!
Dinners tonight: Spag bolx3, beef goulash and curried snags.
Campside bottle popping followed by some popping candy
popping.
Mary M and Nic had a play with some tripod night photography
by the lake.
Once again the boys tackled dads dud battery, while Megan
the miraculous set up their camp single handled, as Stef was busy being all
things to all repairs…both hearing aides and car batteries.
Mary M and Ro and Kerri tackled the drivers seat over the
dunes today.
Lizard spotting at lunchtime, plus a Thorny Devil, up a tree
during the day.
No particular plans for tomorrow.
Good fun times had by all.

 |
| Ro and Mary M determined to start a fire using an alternative method - Ro's ALDI magnifying glass. They had success. |

| Tea all done, fireside fun, Reve drying teatowels, some chocolate, drinks, and popping of containers etc. |
