Turon - Easter Weekend 2012

We entered the Turon National Park from Capertee - headed directly into the National Park - did the first river crossing then went to find a camping spot.  The designated camping area was taken up with what appeared to be one family - one car that blocked the turning circle road - a tent - a shower tent miles away in the long grass - a food prep area - a campfire still burning with chairs around it.  My first thoughts were - "How rude!"  Lets set up camp right in the middle to really piss them off!!

But we didn't - we decided to set up uphill a bit and ended up having a lovely spot - the original spot ended up being over taken with heaps of people/friends of the original campers so at least they did fill up that area - still a bit rude though - it is a free camping area that should be open to whoever come past.

Sam burnt his leg pretty bad on a hot rock in the camp fire - we tried cooling it down with running water and then cut up a freezer pack to wrap around it - he still wanted to have a hot bath but everytime he tried to sit down the hot water would hit the burn and he'd stand up crying again.  It was on his upper thigh - he just couldn't understand it all.

The next day we packed up and drove down the river a bit to do some fishing - Gaz just wanted to have a fish but Sam just wanted to chuck rocks in the water - the two dont mix.  So I took Sam for a walk away from Gaz so he could throw rocks and let Gaz have some quiet time fishing.  I got to have a little go too but the fish just weren't biting.

We left the river and headed to Terry and Jackie Whites for an Easter catch up Hayden and the boys turned up.- we set the camper trailer up, had some nice homemade pizza and the kids had an easter egg hunt all together then Hayden and the boys headed home, Gaz Sam and I jumped in the trailer and woke up to let Sam and Yvette have another easter egg hunt together.

We sort of stuffed up a little here and each of us started taking the campertrailer down bit by bit - unfortunately I did the first bit then wandered off, Gaz started to wind it all up only to find I hadn't undone the press studs yet - so we've ripped a couple of press studs out of the canvas - urrrggghhh.
