Managed to get to Goongerah, last Saturday, approx 1/2 way between
Delegate, in NSW and Orbost. Caught up with Nathan at
Delegate, and proceeded back to Goongerah, by 4:00 pm.
Real nice place, and the Campgroud is superb, but not that big, with a long drop dunny. No thunderbox to set up, and ya gotta love that.
Was greated by Clayton, one of the "Traditional owners", as he called himself. Had a ball.
What a gem of a bloke....Made him an "honorary Irishman", called him "Paddy", and that tickled him a bit.
We could go out hunting, and driving, all day, and when we finally got back to
camp he would have a fire going for us, and then wander in and just sit down and yarn, and talk his head off, about his experiences, and being 60, he has plenty, but you could tell he had "kissed the Blarney Stone" though.
So he would eat with us, and after dinner, would share a drink as
well. We knew what he was up to but didn't care, as it was his character that stood out.
Another of life's experiences with genuine people.
How good is that ?
Cheers
