Surprise Creek

Arrive to find the camp site we've booked,Site 1, yes it's closest to the walk for the swim spot, but at the moment there is roadworks happening beside it - so dust everywhere! Roger makes a good decision (as there is only 3 lots of campers including us) to set up on another site, we choose Site 15. We park and choose to go check out the swimming before setting up camp. Would be (guessing) a 600m walk to the good size swimming area - past a crocodile trap - that has a smaller pool above with a trickle of water running into it. We didn't swim in the smaller pool.
Quick dip - all to ourselves, then back to the ute to set up the roof top tent. Rog has this sorted in good time, I do my little bit of help with setting up inside the tent and getting our camp chairs ready. Now time to get tea happening - Roger doing a chicken curry (using a Mingle seasoning pkt) on the portable gas burner in a pot. Turns out delicious. We follow this with banana cake. Get our dishes done and tidy up before real dark sets in. Once it does we sit out and enjoy stargazing for a while before going to bed. It is a warm still night so we're glad of a portable fan that Ronnie has lent us.Read more
