SATURDAY 23 APRIL     PUNGALINA

Today saw fairly solid high grey cloud cover

A few days ago, O had told John how to change the oil in the camp generator and today John did this. Another regular task for him.

John put up the tent name signs that we’d brought up from Melbourne for A. He had to go out in the bush to source suitable posts to attach them to, then dig holes for same and put them in. They looked great.

The sleeping tents were Bauhinia, Conkerberry, Grevillea, Hakea and Leichardt, the dining tent Callistemon.

I went around and took a number of photos of the camp that was now pretty much in readiness for the first guests. We had accomplished a lot in the time here, I thought.

A last-minute job for John, just before guests arrival, would be to rake any fallen leaves off the lawned central areas of the camp. He would also have to mow on Monday – grass grew quickly in this heat.
