Patonga Beach - 2011 to 2012 New Year!!

31/12/11
Left home around 10:30am - Arrived around 2.30pm after a bit of running around - workshop - Penrith re tools, Gaz Dad.  Sarah re money.  Finally got out to the caravan park where Mark and Sheree had set up half of the site leaving enough space for the trailer along the side.  Josh had his little tent set up next to the trailer and then the bigger tent had Adam and Robin.  Mark and Sheree parked their van at the front of the site and set up their bed inside.  The tables and kitchen were set up in the centre.













{Today is Easter Saturday 2012 and im sitting in a camp chair somewhere on the turon river - we haven't updated this book for sometime.  We've had two trips to Sofala and now Turon National Park.  We've camped out on a beautiful lake - Lake St Clair near Singleton.}

But for now back to Patonga.

We had two weeks of fantastic sunny weather, went fishing everyday, ate lots of fresh fish had heaps of visitors, changed campsites halfway through - got a few black marks and booked in for the same time next year!



The first week was New Years hence lots of partying, visitors, sore heads, seediness.  The first week was fun but I think by the time the second week came I had had enought of too many people.  Josh and Sam were great together watching DVD's and exploring on the beach.

Gaz and I went out in the kayaks a few times and Sam would fall asleep in the middle.  Definately a good thing to take the kayaks.

Went out in Marks boat - lost a few things in the "Big Seas"  Windscreen (Gaz, Mark and John) Anchor (Sheree Kyla and Mark)

The last night before we had to pack up everything it decided to piss down with rain.  Woke up to it thundering down on the canvas roof - would have been awesome to be able to sleep in with the rain thundering down but alas pack up was imminent!

We managed to get a bit of a break in the down pour to pack up - first time we've really packed up wet.  Luckily we had Gaz's workshop where we could set it up and dry out as little did we know at the time, the rains were here to stay for the rest of summer.
