Views from a Campervan.
An eventful
trip to say the least. My first mistake was putting my father
& Esky in the back seat. Boy could they talk. Just ask the copper that breath
tested me in Bathurst. Thought they would get me in trouble for a while.
Second mistake was listening to my fathers directions and driving right
past the campsite to the dam wall 10km detour? However we got there and set up camp
in the dark on Thursday evening. The weather was cool and the camp ground
packed but we had a good spot right next to the loo's. Friday saw our first
attempt at fishing but from memory only the Sleaman camp caught fish. Ian's
tinnie developed and over heating problem which was found to be the thermostat
putting his boat out of action. Come Saturday the weather turned sour and
rain fell for most of the day. Most headed into Wellington to resupply and
escape the weather. Saturday Night was a different story with the
inauguration of our new president Ian and his first BBQ. With rain threatening
we combined resource's and put up tarps and as you can see in the pictures
had a great bash. Over all the weekend though, damp was a success, we didn't
catch many fish but a good time was had by all. Other notable events of
the weekend
included a frantic woman trying to take over our campsite, Alan's transmission
blowing up, Esky pulling a tent peg out of a water pipe flooding the area
and Andrew's rendition of the drunkards waltz.
