Corella Creek Farm Stay

Arrive after 12 noon phew! $35 for a powered site ($28 for unpowered) - we take that. Settle our van in position (eventually, as Rog tried - unintentionally - to hog viewing and fire position from older couple who parked just before us). Sorted, and glad we got power as we're partially in the shade.
Once happily in positions, Dick and Pru (the older other campers) invite us to have a beer with them, we do, and return the favour while we're with them for a chat. Next head to our van for lunch, reheated sausage casserole, then take the first turn at the 2 outdoor Artesian baths. Lovely and warm, spend 1/2 an hour in while sharing a bottle of bubbles. Dick and Pru go after us, in the meantime a family has arrived with their caravan, parents and 2 young boys, they settle in (round up the wagons formation happening) and they enjoy getting into a outdoor spa bath. Afternoon passing with us all separately relaxing in our own space. Roger in our Nakie hammock reading, I'm writing this after I've made a double batch of date damper for Rog to cook on the campfire tonight. Time for me to read my book too. Another older couple arrive with their caravan, they are positioned 'in the back' behind Dick and our caravan's. Roger cooks up the goat chops panfried, and serves with boiled vegetables. We both feel we prefer lamb chops (flavour) though quite happy to eat these ones - just abit tough but Rog feels that may be his cooking method! By now all campers sitting around a communal campfire. This is where 'Farm Stay' shows as our hosts Georgi and Eric have a pet cow (fully grown) and pet goat (young kid) come and join us around the fire! Roger now gets the damper cooking - once cooked, slice it and offer, with butter, to share with fellow campers. Goes down a treat, all gone in no time. Another camper offers us some pieces of his fish patties - fresh caught barramundi 'wings' crumbed with a hint of curry - to try, very nice! Roger and I decide to take a night time Artesian bath - so we do for another 1/2 hour stint. By now everyone has gone indoors at their own camps, so certainly time to tidy up in our caravan and get to bed.
Wednesday morning sees me up before 7am to go for my 1hr 'shuffle' - just go along the road that goes over the nearby railway tracks (very straight) away and back. I get back in time for bacon, eggs and mushrooms that Roger has cooked up for breakfast. Have this with toast, relish and cheese. Roger has to move our caravan so couple parked behind us can get out to leave. We then finish our tidy up and I get changed, ready to be on our way. Say cheerio to Pru and Dick and leave by 10am. Heading for Julia Creek.Read more
