Poor Ray had a bad night… maybe a dose of the gastro that’s been going through their family or maybe we just really gave him…. after a couple of days together. They needed to do a rapid pack up and head for home and their own toilet.
Having been woken by the garbage man at about 7 we were all well awake anyway, so we were all packed up and ready to go.
We did have time to examine the local bugs which all seemed to be having a skin shedding party, leaving behind their old coverings and sitting around in the sunshine on any available place to dry off.
In our case we were needing to be at Goolwa just after 1pm for birthday lunch ( Trev’s sister, Rae, is 60 today) so we had time to deviate to Scott Conservation Park on the way there.
We decided to stop and do the short River Crossing walk there, which was pretty gentle, but lovely and quite interesting.
We saw wrens and various other birds, and listened to lots of bird sounds. Mostly we couldn’t even spot the birds, but a few showed.
The walk crossed the deep creek ( looks like this might be part of Deep Creek itself) a couple of times which has some significant erosion and consequent cliffs. It was dry though, as was the dam.
We made a cup of tea and took our time reading and doing the crossword in today’s paper as the rain pattered on the roof of the Prado and trickled down the windscreen.
We enjoyed lunch with Rae, Denise, Mum, Kathy and Ron as we watched the rain sweeping across the Goolwa yacht club and the river. The family even agreed to have a photo taken!
