RESTART. Leaving AGAIN. Take Two.

After nearly a three week stay at Lowood Mick finally completed his caravan towing and reversing course - we weighed in correctly - and we set of back to Broadwater Lake for a few nights where we spent a night prior to arriving in Lowood. It was origin night and we watched it in the caravan because it was quite cold. Bugger Mick won - NSW won and he was very happy. He talked about it and was on FB for the next few days lapping up the winners giving the losers crap.

$31 bucks for the 2 nights - peaceful and calm - had a very slow full day there on the Thursday. Feet up and puzzle book out. No thinking. No planning. No fixing.

We didn't see possums the first time we were here but they were here the first night and wandered through the camp like they owned it - walking between our legs - big and small - pooing all over the mat - and it looks like Mick is feeding it but he is not - he put his hand down and was nipped at - LOL - we finished our dinner and they moved to another camp. It even drank our dirty water and balanced on the bucket edge.

The smell then came in extremely strong - at first we thought the smell was the lake - but it wasn't - as soon as I realised that it reminded me of living in Holmview for years with the smell of the meat works wafting through our home regularly - I realised we were lucky last time here and we didn;t smell it.

It seeped in the caravan and smell was horrendous - the caretaker explained the next day that it is a feedlot with 70,000 head of cattle - mind boggling - and they continuosuly make fertilizer. When the wind comes that way and air is cold the smell is worse.

Luckily the night was warmer the next day and the smell went away - we even considered in the moring packing up and moving on but we both really didn't want to travel and we needed a day of rest.

Captured some gorgeous morning reflection photos.

I did a quick watercolour and pen sketch of the coolest tree. It really looked like a snake was etched into the bark. I absolutely loved it so did a sketch to remember meeting this tree.Read more
