Our trip ended that day when we arrived in St George at 11 am to check into the Pelican Rest caravan Park ( which i might add was a very nice place to say ,with spotless amenities). from there we met up with Sir Kev and family and Kev's father soon had us at work cutting up fallen trees and loading them into 2 trailers and storing them at his place.

I think from memory we collected 10 or 11 large trailer loads of firewood in readyness for the gathering.We were treated to 3 nights of dinner at Kev's fathers place with Kev cooking a roast in the camp oven in the open fire.....mmmmmmm!!!
We took some pics along the trip out there and some while we were the at St George so enjoy,cheers.

Those comments do not do the size of that trailer justice. They all show the trailer half full. Put that video up when it is full being dragged out of there ;)
