Slightly depressed....

I didn't think you were more than 20 yr old LOL

Hey Laura,
Yeah, like you we are hanging out for the weather to cool down so we can get to our leases.
Sitting around the campfire last year "seasoning" a new campoven....chuck it in the fire, get it redhot, pull it out and give it a good spray of oil... chuck it back in the fire. did it a couple of times (drinking scotch) and the third time (it was dark) I thought jee that smells funny......Chookie had put a can of Baygon next to the can of oil I was using.

Cheers.............BIGDOG

Hi All

A few years ago we were camping off the beach on Fraser Island,
we had just set up our camp ect, and I put up a Toilet Amenities
Tent, for the women & kids in our group, I slaved digging a nice
deep hole put the new thunder box over it, all finished, I went over
to tell the crew that it was ready for use, and sat down to have a
couple of beers, with my mates,
One of the women went over to christen it and let out an all-mighty
scream, a bloke from the next camp site up the beach decided to
use it, he sneaked in and here he was with his pants down around
his ankles, I ran over and told him to vacate the place or else he
would be in it up to his ears, he said he thought it was for public
use.

Cheers
Daza.

Yes, the desert can get into your blood. Espeecially with the pressures that we're all under these days, traffic etc.
I guess it got into mine about 30 years ago, I am hanging for my next trip also.

When I was a kid it was cold, wet and windy so we built a fire, stoked it up, put a can of baked beans on it and like all good bushmen, stood with our backs to the fire.(Too much Lawson perhaps)
Of course being around 10 or so, the inevitable happened.
God they hurt when attached to bare skin LOL

Laura,

I hope this photo lifts your spirits a little.

The best camp that I have had was back in 2000. Camped in the Simpson Desert, next to the camp fire, under the stars and full moon, with my daughter, Eliza, who was aged 7 at the time.

I'll have to agree with you, Laura.

When Viv & Ray get settled into their new place, Lyn & I were thinking of looking them up, and then heading up into the Little Desert, Vic..
Then again, we could all meet somewhere up there, in the desert, later on in the year ,,,


In the mean time we are heading up into the High Country next weekend,,,,
Might even see " bambi " ( yum )

Hope you like this therepy ?
