Yatala weekend

Saturday 2nd to Sunday 3rd December, 2017


Another good, quite, camp, beside the Albert River which was a first for everybody attending. 27 acres gave us plenty of room with a nice flat, green, grassy paddock and a bonus of a shelter for 'meet & greet'.

 

The pontoon on the river was only used by Angela to fish!! & Gregory to launch his crab pots..NO fish or crabs!!

 

Some went for a drive to explore the region. Les came back with a pie from Yatala Pies, an apple & blue berries I think, with heaps of cream.

 

The weather was very kind to us, hot with spasmodic cloud cover giving some respite from the sun. The only rain worth a mention, was in the early hours of Sunday morning.

 

Everyone packed up & left homeward bound on Sunday morning, except Paul who stayed on as usual for Sunday night.


Don & Chris camped with the group for the first time & shared their photo books at the Satrurday afternoon meet & greet, which was well received.


If you look very closely at one of the photos, you will see the 'resident' green, yellow belly, tree snake 'Bruce'.

 

Alex & Jill camped on the lower ground close tho the river, as did Les & Ray, while the rest of us kept to the high ground. The Albert River has a history of flooding!!!!

 

Angela tried out her new 'Quick Pit' fire pit, come BBQ base, which worked out fine. Amazingly. There was no evidence on the grass of any fire. A good buy for $200

 

Until the next camp, travel & camp safely.

Gregory & Angela
