Back Breaking Work

---

Well, Tuesday already and the Finlay family were almost packed up by the time we surfaced, heavens the TVAN is so comfortable to sleep in.

We said our goodbyes, the next time we would catch up with them is at the 4 wheel drive club meeting at camping world Belconnen, (Memo to self - take Credit Card), on 8 November.

As soon as they pulled off from their camp spot, we vigorously waved them off and went and gathered all their wood, cold, heartless I know, but that’s what happened.

Once we had harvested their wood we went to the BBQ’ to do our breakfast.

We had another one of those busy days ahead of us, collecting wood, watching the flames dance in the fire, drinking copious amounts of tea, and reading our books in the sunshine, Caroline did mention something about going for a walk, but hey I might even go the whole hog and type some more blog up, how strenuous is that?

Caroline had a wander around to check out the wildlife, plenty of kangaroo’s and joey’s hanging around but this time it seems that emu’s were in abundance too, they would keep a respectable distance from camp and if you tried to approach them to take a photo, then no matter how sneaky you were i.e. hiding behind the trees or pretending to walk away, they would work it out and gradually move further away, self preservation I am sure. This time we did not see any goanna’s or snakes.

It seems that the highlight of our exceptionally busy day, was our evening meal we had picked up some chicken drumsticks, (bad Idea) and coated them in something that can only be described as a Galvanising (spicy barbecue), these pesky chicken drumsticks took ages to cook on the BBQ, so they will be struck off our camp cooking list.

Which brings me to the best bit, we had the camp fire going and decided to practice with our jaffle iron ready for the cook off in November. We cannot reveal what we cooked, but it was a good one and very tasty, much needed after our disastrous chicken drumstick dinner.

The night sky was beautiful, the stars were appearing in abundance, but soon it was time to let the fire die out and so we headed indoors and to bed.

Not a very exciting blog I know, but we are on holiday and it feels great to have some downtime and not rush around, it won’t be long before we are back on the treadmill again.
