Camp Host - Regina and Ian

It’s not all beer and skittles. Mostly it is, but not all.
We do have some responsibilities like cleaning the amenities, the BBQ, the odd Emu Bob after a Dingo or Crow gets at some careless campers garbage bag, and occasionally shovel out the ash from the fire pits.
I volunteered to do some mowing around the camp sites. I was a bit disappointed when provided with a push mower.
We also meet with campers to provide information about the park, check that they have valid bookings or help to arrange a bookings (interesting without internet). And to have a chat. During a recent hot spell we handed out ice (from the Rangers Station ice maker) and for this little gesture we have become favourites in the campground , especially where there are kids under canvas.
We have been rallying interest in making “Sunset from the Creek Bed” into a thing! Our best effort was to get a dozen people lined up in folding chair for the transition to night. It was amusingly like being at the movies!
We have the best site in an already beautiful campground. A concrete slab for the van and awning, a picnic shed with water tap, fire pit and a tree shaded picnic table. We also have a remarkable insect enclosure (perhaps excluder) which we place on a shaded and mowed grassy area. Our indenture gives us access to the amenities at the Rangers Station, like air con for a retreat, workshop, 240v power, and of course the Maggot Bar - but more on this in a later post. Czytaj więcej
