'evening chickadees...have been meaning to do a post about our camping trip....way back in September.....home alone tonight....mr lzilulu is working on the wheat harvest, so flo and i are just hangin' out together.......
after buying our glorified swag, mr lzilulu spent many hours and dollars setting up "the rig" ready for our first trip....
....the money spent to get to this stage alone could have bought us at least a month's timeshare at a 5star resort!
just a quick trip out west to broken hill and home again via bourke and lightning ridge......eight days in total......
at each stop we had a checklist of pre-requisites for a good campsite...these included.........
..... a clear area for a campfire....
....some hanging space.....
....a "long drop".......
....preferably one with a toilet roll holder....
.....a shady tree....
....a comfy spot for the duchess....
......a comfy spot for me.....
.......a fishing spot for him.....
.....some flowers at the front door....
.....a place to dine.....
......a hunter and gatherer.....
......a bedroom with a view.....
......beautiful sunrises.....
....some early morning visitors.....
to get to some of these spots we saw lots and lots of this......
............ :)
....and this...
what we didn't want to see was too much of this........
.....yep, black mud!!
but luckily we were close enough to this place.........
....to get a room for the night :)....and flo was welcomed by the owners :)
....did we have a good time???....you betcha!!....are we itching to go again?....yep......
i have been busy in the shed since our return and trying to get some stock made for the markets and an "open shed" weekend in november.......will post about that soon...
'til then, take care and be kind to each other
