    👍🏻 Lovely evening spent in the company of others 💬
    👎🏻 Little damp after the unexpected thunderstorm ⛈️

    After just a short drive we arrived at camp to our choice of lakeside sites. Shortly after setting up we watched van after van arrived - you clearly need to be in early if you want a lake side spot

    Jumped on the bikes to ride the lakeside trail through the many beautiful parks lining the shore. We then detoured to visit the large goanna🦎. Total 14.5km

    We had planned to ride into town and check out more of the sculpture trail, but on our way the thunderstorm started a little earlier than expected and as we had our pop top vents open we wanted to get back before the weather turned nasty ⛈️

    Once the rain subsided Johnny got his fishing gear out, for the first time this trip and enjoyed a couple of hours feeding the local fish 🎣

    We enjoyed a lovely evening with a beautiful starry sky sat by the water chatting with our new neighbours, Ken and Bernadette, who are just setting off on their current adventures from Queensland

    We like our spot here and might just stay another day 😊
