Hi Folks,
It's 11pm on a clear crisp night in the park. I am sitting in shorts under the awning typing. We have just had the blood curdling squeals of Tassie Devils in the bush. The fire is bubbling away in the fire pot but too far away to do much good.
Today was remarkable for the fact it was almost cloudless all day. We ventured up the road to Bluff Hill Point and parked adjacent the lighthouse. We walked down some rough old tracks in a circuit along the beach pausing to examine what we thought were aboriginal middens and take in the general ambiance. we journeyed a it further up the coast to West Point State reserve. This has a natural boat harbour and more importantly we found some gum kindling to light the fire with here tonight.
On our return to camp Susan cooked some scones using egg rings to support the baking platform in the camp oven. Yesterdays ones were a bit burnt and the egg rings were a suggestion from our neighbour. Susan's comment which i omitted from last nights blog was that yesterdays scones "tasted better than they looked" Today's scones looked and tasted good.
We spent some time talking to new arrivals Steve and Sharon and looking at their Ultimate camper. Steve is one of the few people who had heard of former employer BV mainly because he works for the opposition in Newcastle.
We had a latish simple but tasty tea finished off with scones. The weather looks kind for tomorrow but rain on Tuesday so we will pack the camper tomorrow and swag it tomorrow night. Well that's the plan anyway. We have paid for 7 nights for $50 as opposed to $13 per night so we might as well get our moneys worth.
Night folks
Cheers Simon
Bluff Hill Point
