The weather is improving, the drying has begun, which is just as well since we would like to pull the camper trailer out of the scrub at some stage. The ground is definitely not hard enough for the precision reversing required. At the moment it is a matter of thrash along the mud ruts to get close.

Susan continued on with her kitchen tidying today after helping Dan finish tidying the bus for the three new helpers from Taiwan. They are all electrical engineering students and arrived around morning tea. I couldn't but help looking at their nice clean pale coloured shoes and then at the sloppy red mud on the ground here. One of them speaks exceedingly good English.
I carted 60 litres of water down to the paddock to refill the camper trailer. This afternoon we both had lovely warm showers and only used about 14 litres of water. Susan wanted to buy a pop up shower tent when we were in Gympie until she found out the price. We just stand out in the fairly secluded open! Try not to think of that sight!
This afternoon I was back on my old favourite the brush cutter. Funnily enough the same one as at Gulmarrad except a lot newer in fact almost brand new. Lovely Honda 4 stroke. If only the line feed was better although it might have been the way it was wound on.
Many of the solar panels are up on the roof so I think there is a good chance I will be wiring them together tomorrow.
We had a community tea tonight 9 people in all. Premade lasagne, salad and the highlight, Susan's sticky date pudding which everyone enjoyed.
I left the swag fly unzipped a bit yesterday morning. Susan was having a caniption when I arrived at the swag at bedtime last night since she had been playing around with the torch in bed and found a large centipede up in the corner. I sprayed it and at the same time knocked it down into our "night bottle" No other beasties were sighted.
The weather forecast is still good. It's definitely a better life when the sun is shining and you are not sloshing through mud.
cheers Simon
