An early morning walk before sunrise, then a late breakfast & a swim, another great start to a lazy day.  Tereza wasn’t gold panning after breakfast either.  The only real effort today was the drive up to Gregory Downs with our toilet container to empty it at the dump point & give it a clean.  We lit a fire this morning to cook a damper in our camp oven & found a slightly charred result that you nearly had to use an axe to cut.  It still tasted good with some honey & the charcoal scraped off.  We lazed most of the day, Tereza reading a Wilbur Smith novel & me bird watching & snoozing at times.  Time for another swim.  We rounded out the day chatting at the fireside of some new found camping friends until bed time.

My Lord and Master was waiting for his breakfast but he received a burnt offering instead.  Another very nice day, 29.5C hard to believe how cold it is in Canberra.  So many birds here but they not very co-operative about photo shoots.  This morning on our walk we came across a fellow camper with a most amazing blown tire.

Mother Nature certainly turned on her best for us at this place but the last flood at Easter the spot we are camping at was under about 10 metres of fast flowing water, you can see the debris up in the trees.

Most people you meet are really nice & friendly but have no name, just where they have been or where they are going & the usual farewell is “safe journey, might bump into you somewhere on the road again.”
