We ventured out this weekend by ourselves to Skipworth
reserve 7Km from Jameison access via sealed road and campground on the left
from Jamieson (1 of many along this stretch of road). Only took just on 2 hrs
set up this time as we had a plan, executed the plan and did not argue at all!!.
The learnings from out last outing payed dividends. Set up camp ready for a
night under the stars and a nice little fire to suite. During the night to my horror
realised that I did not pack enough beer for the 2 days (Linda took enough for
a week) off to Jamieson pub to restock.
Woke to a beautiful crisp morning (Sat) stoked the
fire ready for a day of doing nothing (Linda did go walkabouts for more fire
wood) went down to the river for a stroll nice peaceful setting. Diner was a
quick BBQ and we sat around the fire for hours watching a squirrel (or
something running up the tree near our trailer) did have 4 legs. Linda spent
some time feeding the birdlife that were around our camp
By this time Linda was getting anxious as there was
no mobile phone coverage and getting the DTs as she could not text or snap-chat
the kids.
Woke Sunday morning and placed the last couple of
logs on the fire, sat and had coffee and toast ready to pack up and head home
after about 10mins of packing the camper Linda was determined that the camper
was to be sold, as the pack up was not going to her plans (taking too much time) learnings from this
