I thought we were camped on the Murray river but after speaking to a local fellow, he set me straight. This is a subsidiary creek that flows into the Murray. Never the less, a bloody big creek, its a perfect place to recoup for a few days as we have been pushing it for the last 10 because of the time factor.
Slingshot set off for another of her daughters' place south of Sydney at about 8.30 this morning, her plan is to travel over 300ks today and arrive at Gunning about 2 this afternoon. A long trip for her but there is a free hot shower waiting when she arrives, then its a matter of possibly 2 hours on Friday and she is where she wants to be.
Now here is Ruby checking out the 'Bloody Big Creek'
What a great night for sleeping soundly, snuggled up under the doona.
After Slingshot left I spied campers leaving further up from me so made a quick pack up and moved into their spot, its now location! location! with views of steadily flowing water.
I was fully set up in my new spot, sorting my washing and looking forward to a few days here. And what a beautiful day it turned out to be with few people about, just some noise occasionally from trucks crossing the bridge and kind of chasing the sun with the solar panels.
The local fellow tells me to expect rain on Saturday but it will be still warm. I should possibly head north then. No fun camping in the rain.
Ran out of Gas this morning, gosh!!!! the Icecream !!!Swap and go at the local garage cost $36. When I was in town, I see many jeep vehicles arriving and found they were going to the Corowa jeep festival so I called 'John the Jeep man' to thank him for his help the other day while I had phone access, he is on his return home to Queensland for family business.
