What a gorgeous rest day, starting with a sleep in and then
eggs on toast for brekkie. The kids decided to build Coober Pedy which became
the entertainment for the entire day for the littlies. Jordan, Jack, Jess and
Madison started it off with a bit of help from Col. It wasn’t long before
Michael, Jamie, Haley and Chelsea came along to join in.
One of my favourite parts of the day was when our whole
group went for a walk together, through Queensland, South Australia and then
across the salt pan in the Northern Territory. Chelsea was so close to walking
while playing on a fence wire on the salt pan.
Then it was time for the boys to potter around the cars, changing another bush on Stuart’s Pajero suspension. Bruce is desperately looking for something to fix under his car, then checking out why his winch didn’t work. Col needs to look at our water tank leak (maybe using the ‘magic tape’). They also might have a play with Peter’s 12V outlets that are shorting out. Peter is topping up his oil again.
Fiona went for an extra walk, coming across a camel sculpture memorial amongst some amazing wild flowers.
After ‘happy hour’ around an early fire, Lisa, Bruce and I played with some night shots including sunset flash photography with the little kids.
It was such a lovely fire tonight which kept us warm while we had a fun game of charades. Talk about million
