After that bit of physical exursion we ventured over the dunes to the beach and took a dip in the "cool" water. Silly us got burnt on bits that we missed or didn't realise - very naughty!!!!!
Met a couple called Ian and Lyn from Tassie doing a short trip from the small isle and they had done 6 years sailing around the world!!!!!! OMG in a 44 ft yacht.......
Saturday 15th was a quiet day doing domestics - yeah that never stops - reading and surfing the net for jobs again!!!!
We had a nice dinner at the Milton Golf club looking over the beach and listened to some music in the club.
Sunday - Up early and off to climb Pidgeon House Mountain AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!
Yes I had climbed it over 10 years ago with Cheryl Hill and probably swore then I would not do it again - and I did!!!
It was a great achievement 2nd time around for me and 1st for Tone. It took 4 hours round trip to get to the top over very steep and muddy and rugged terrain. We met all sorts climbing the "Hill" on our way down. a young couple we met suggested going down to the river only 4 kms down the dusty dirty road - yes the cruiser got dirty!!!!!! We did a skinny Dip in the river which was a welcome cool down after our tremendous Feat.
Very daring for us old coggers.........A bit scary for any onlookers though.
We are introducing more and more people to the game of sequence - I reckon we should get the company to give us spotters fees as we are converting more and more......
Monday morning brought about a BIG change for us as we called a farm in Toolangi VIC looking for work on his Witlof Farm and fingers crossed it will lead to more and different work for us over the next few months - just to get a bit of a kitty going......
HALF WAY TO THE TOP... |
HALF WAY- HAVING A REST!!!!! |
OMG - JUST THE LADDERS TO GO!! |
YES IT IS THAT FAR TO CIVILASTION |
DO WE LOOK AS KNACKERED AS WE FEEL???? |
THE DOWNWARD TREK |
TONE BEING ARTISTIC |
AND ANOTHER LADDER SHOT |
SCRUBBY CREEK STATE FOREST PARK |
OBVIOUSLY........ |
AND ANOTHER OBVIOUSLY.... |
TRAIN TRACK IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE..... |
Oh and by the way I am getting better at driving with the van attached and backing is getting easier - but of course I have a GREAT teacher......
Left Milton for Scrubby creek camp area which is in a state forest for free - thanks Jenny!!
Drove from there through Lakes Entrance and Bairnsdale to Sale to a show ground which is our stop for tonight - then tomorrow we will be off to Toolangi.
