SUNDAY 23 APRIL     ADELS GROVE

A large bus tour group was booked in for two nights and arrived as scheduled. There were five fly-ins arrived too.

There would be 44 guests for tea, plus the 9 staff. MS was a bit concerned about it – not her usual remit to be cooking for numbers of guests. She cooked roast lamb, having found sufficient legs of same in the freezer. A did the vegies. I made a nice, varied, fruit salad and whipped cream.

John had to go to the National Park in the afternoon, to do canoe hire for the guests. He was not as vital to the cable laying and associated work as the other three men. And he was more experienced with the canoe hire than two of them.

I helped serve in the bar in the late afternoon, and with serving up dinners, and with the clean up after. Basically, I worked a full day.

The bus group were very appreciative of their meal.
