Lucy and Sarah enjoyed their camp experience and playing with Catherine, the owners’ daughter named, after Cathy Freeman.
However, we were a bit disappointed with this camp experience. The tent and all that were fine but only three people (Andy, Doug and Jenny) seemed to do everything – talks, cooking, cleaning, boating etc. – and the experience felt rushed and lacking any freshness. On Trip Advisor the reviewers raved about their experience but thought it was pretty bad, especially the fact that we were hoping the kids would get to try real bush tucker (just had some barramundi) and have more of a chance to talk to the people (who were just too busy making money – get ‘em in get ‘em out as the next crowd has arrived).
Not much was spotted on the night cruise to a billabong but I quite enjoyed Andy’s horror story of the guide who took his backpacker clients swimming and of course, a croc ate one of them. We heard this, moored in the moonlight, but neither of the girls seemed too scared.
Dear Darcy, I am having getting the pictures>I tried the slide show but got a couple. I hav e seen a couple of the girls which are lovely but hopefully it will get its act together and b e a little faster one day. You came back to rain on both of your journeys to W.S. I read your last trip this a.m.. Hope you have a very fruitful and not too stressful term I guess Lucy is looking forward to returning. Love to all. Mum
Mum, I really should have made the effort to compress the size of the pics. You are on a dial-up machine and they will take forever to download. I have made some slideshows, set to music, for you and Dad to see when you visit later in the year.
Thanks Darcy, That will be great to share on the t.v I can’;t see me going broadband as the service is still bad here but looking to change to the pensioner dial up. Have a great weekend and hope all is going well at school. What is your agenda for August. Are you likely to be going away to conferences. Does Lucy have anything on at school during August. Love to you all. Mum
