Eyre Creek Camp Area

Darren sees a potential spot to stay overnight, as he has passed it he asks Roger and I to stop and check it out. We do, and after walking around the area, make the call that it would suit. Roger drives into the parking area first with Darren and Kris following. Roger stops while trying to work out where he'll park, which makes Darren have to stop as well. Roger on higher ground can drive off to his chosen spot, but Darren's lower which is in a soggy clay state so he can't get traction to move forward! Whoops they're stuck! Well it's Max trax to the rescue, it took our 4 and Darren and Kris's 2, effectively 1 for each wheel to get them on the move to firmer ground. Bit of clean up of the trax to do - all good! Add a story to our travels!
We settle ourselves into our chosen parking spots. Darren and Roger tend to getting fires sorted, Darren his cooking fire for his rotisserie, and Roger his fire pit to sit around. Kris and I work on trying to get the Max trax abit cleaner before sitting around the fire pit. We all have our drinks in hand and Kris organises some bickies and cheese for nibbles. Lovely time chatting around the fire while Darren and Kris prepare a beaut tea, roast lamb and roast potato and carrots, with steamed cauliflower and peas served with gravy. YUM. Enjoy a perfect evening, weather mild and calm, in terrific company, before retiring to our caravans to get some sleep. Roger has a shower before bed.
Tuesday morning - all is quiet, thought we might get plenty of bird noise, only 1 crow made a bit of noise. Get up and have a leisurely breakfast - porridge for both of us. In no rush as we know we don't have far to travel today. Go and checkout the inside of Darren and Kris's JB Caravan, really lovely for 17ft as well designed for 2. We all get ourselves ready to depart this beaut camp spot - underway around 9.45am. Roger and I lead vehicle today, we don't go too far before we pull over to check out Hutchison's monument, then we get on the move again.Leer más
