Thank you for all the
birthday messages received today. Facebook certainly tells the world
when your birthday is.
Just to prove what an old
bloke can do, we had a very active day today – an 8km walk this
morning and a 6km walk this afternoon. In both cases we walked along
Mambray Creek being a water course which only flows in heavy rain but
there is the occasional wet spot so there is enough water for the
numerous birds and animals which frequent the area.
Its claim to fame is that the water course is home to numerous very large and very old river gums which are very different to those which line the Murray River in that the old ones are very large and have hollow trunks. They are supported by what is virtually a tripod of outer trunk. They drop very large branches so one doesn't spend too much time under them.
We are not the only
campers in the camp ground but we might as well be in that the other
campers are congregated around the amenities block about 150 metres
away and we have this end of the camp ground to ourselves – very
peaceful.
Tomorrow we head south
along the western edge of the York Peninsula for some coastal
scenery.
Perhaps I might have an
extra glass of wine tonight given that we don't have any cake or
candles. That can wait until we get home.
