SATURDAY 11 JULY     HANN CROSSING CAMP

It was cloudy today and there were some occasional showers.

I made foccacia again and we cooked it more carefully this time. It turned out fine and was yummy.

I soaked the breakfast dishes for a while before washing them up – and then found a frog in the water in the cereal bowl! There are frogs everywhere here. That has got to mean reptiles too, but so far………

John fished again – he caught two yellowbelly on a silver wobbler lure.

It is truly amazing how much time is taken by just doing the basics around camp – like keeping the fire going.

John broke out the new metal detector, assembled it and spent some time trying to figure out how it works. He then “detected” some of our camp site – finding a 20 cent coin! That proves it does work, but at that rate, it is going to take us a long time to make a fortune!

Some people have moved into nearby Camp 11 today. They are not too obtrusive, but they are  there, which reduces the illusion of isolated bush camping, and also our privacy.

I cooked John’s fish for his tea, with fries. I had cold corned beef and fries.

John used the bush shower again, like last night, but with Truck as a shield between him and neighbours.
