Lucky Bay

The first job this morning was to get the car to the auto electrician for a new connection to the the battery charger (secondary fridge battery).

Whilst he worked on the car I pulled up a camping chair and spent the time studying for my exam.

By 10am the work was finished, I filled up the car, drove back to the caravan park, hitched up and we were on our way by 11am.

After a very short trip, only 60km, we arrived at Cape LeGrand National Park. We headed straight to the camp ground at Lucky Bay wh

ere Matthew Flinders sheltered for a night in January 1802.

We were very lucky indeed to get a spot at the top level overlooking the whole bay. This camp was the first where we set up our awning, floor, outside tables and chairs.

We already knew our neighbours, having met them a couple of days ago when we came out for a look. They were also keen fisher people and provided us with squid for bait so we decided to spend the rest of the afternoon fishing in the bay. Although there were plenty of fish nibbling, I only landed one Wrasp which (apparently) is not a very good table fish - he went straight back in.

Today was another day without rain and the wind wasn't too bad either but with only 19 degC we are still looking forward to the north where we can spend the nights sitting outside the caravan.

A large part of the evening was spent chatting to the neighbours (from Brisbane) and solving most of the world's problems.

After the kids went to sleep we had to pack up the awning due to the strong wind. Once we were tucked up in bed we fell asleep while light rain was falling on the caravan roof.
