This was the hottest camp I've ever experienced at Gloucester, 40 deg plus days in April no less!
I met some lovely new people, a handful of men and a bunch of women and it was here that I again met with Wendy Healy and Sue Mallo Donsworth. Both having something to say to me (a bee in their bonnet from 3 years earlier) and both having the wrong impression of what happened at the said camp at Knorrit Flat. What a shame they carried the problem with them for so long, it must have weighed them down greatly.
Anyway, once again I was not a well chook, I struggled to keep up with the group.
My fridge did not take kindly to the extreme heat even though I was partially parked under cooling trees.
We all spent most of our time sitting and socializing in the river, so...so cooling being shaded by the beautiful trees,
The men organized and cooked a baked dinner for the lot of us. Amazingly the only cost was about $7, luckily it turned out the coolest day for cooking, they were super swift in feeding the masses.
And I'm sad to say one Chappie's dog lost his life from the heat, it was a terrible experience for that camper.
