Sofala again with the Harvey's

Drove in from Capertee this time the opposite direction - the river was down much more from what it was the last time we were there.  You could see the driftwood high up in branches of trees.  We went back to the same campground - the second out of Sofala - the one closest to the river crossing - but again we drove past the main camping area further down the dirt track.  Daryn and Family came a bit later on but we had saved a spot.

 The river was so clear!!Gaz made Sam a boat out of a palstic drink bottle and a stick.


The boys all got on really well - I love it how the bigger boys look out for Sam and include him in their adventures.  It was really cute to see him come and get his toothbrush so he could go and brush his teeth like "the big boys" on the rivers edge.

Sam also found a piece of wood that he kept carrying under his arm - he wanted to take it with him everywhere - it wasn't until he took it in the camper and started to try to stand on it while he watched the movie that I saw what he saw.  He saw it as a surfboard - and it looked very similar to the piece of wood that the penguin uses in "Surfs Up"  We made sure we kept that piece of wood.




 Sam got a hold of the camera and took some pretty good shots - see if you can figure out which are his??


We had another attempt of cooking a roast pork in the campovens - this time we managed to cook the crackling in the campoven too!!  It was perfect!!

There was a big hill behind our campsite - perfect for a 4wd hill climb - i've taken photos and video footage of Gaz having a play but it really doesn't do it justice - the hill was really steep much steeper than the picture make out.
