the gorge weekend
Saturday 19th to Sunday 20th July, 2014
The “Gorge Camp” was enjoyed by all (so I was
told). The majority arrived on the Friday bringing perfect weather, although
a little windy. People came from the Gold Coast, up to north of Brisbane,
out to Ipswich, one from Sydney and of course the “Moree Mob”.
There were two lots of visitors for the weekend and one day visitor. From
what I was told, none had been to the Gorge before, so that was pleasing to
be able to introduce a new camp to the org.
The weather was fine and sunny all the
time but a little cool, down to 5 deg. Some “other” campers who were there
before us commandeered the fire pit, so Val, the owner said we could make
another but dismantle it on our departure. Matt, showed the way, as usual
and constructed the fire pit, where as at the end of the camp, Monday am,
Alan, cleared the pit and replaced the “divots”
Bill and Jen took their motorised
canoe, down the road to Moogerah Dam, for a shake down cruise and reported
all went well, more stable than anticipated and the little Mercury motor was
more than adequate
Ray experimented with “time laps”
photography ???? think he got it right, after a couple efforts ??
Gus and Jill arrived late Saturday,
how-ever still day-light
Most had gone by mid Sunday, leaving
about six of us (I think) to pack up on the Monday
A special thanks to Matt, who went off
into town on Saturday for more wood, it seemed he supplied most of the wood
for the camp fire...thanks Matt
A good turn up I feel...24 adults; 6
children (all well behaved); 6 dogs...also on their best behaviour
There was a good array of
“accommodation”, from full vans, camper vans, pop tops, even to tents
I in conjunction with Angela, thank
you for your company and in-put to the camp and look forward to the next
gathering....
