We all enjoyed a hearty cooked breakfast before heading off
on our day at the local rock pools. The
native bush chooks (Australian Brush Turkey) seemed quite taken with our cooked breakfast too!
First on the agenda was the Rock Slides. Bruce, Jack and Jarrah headed out first on
their bikes, and Fletch and I followed up in the car with bathers, towels,
beach balls, noodles, snacks, drinks, sunscreen, aeroguard and the myriad of
other items we must carry with us at all times!!!
According to local knowledge there wasn’t a lot of water at
the Rock Slides, but we certainly made the most of the water that was there.
Unfortunately, the long swimming pants that Jack and Jarrah
love so much had their final wear today.
Both boys wore a huge hole in the backside of their pants, sliding down
the rocks. Baring their butts didn’t
seem to bother them too much, in fact they seemed to enjoy it! Some very funny photos were taken but have
been withheld for modesty reasons!
After a few hours at the Rock Slides the troops were getting
hungry, so we headed for home, collecting some fire wood along the way. After a short break for lunch, it was off to
Paradise Pool – a short 200 metre walk from our camp site.
There was no shortage of water at Paradise Pool, and the
boys had fun jumping from the rocks and trying to bombie on the fish.
Although it was mid afternoon by this stage, the boys were
keen to head back to the Rock Slides to check out a different section that we
didn’t get to this morning. The rock
pools were in shade by this stage, but the boys didn’t seem to mind!
We dragged them away, shivering uncontrollably, about 5pm.
After a BBQ dinner, Jarrah again amazed us with his culinary skills, by producing an award winning Nutella damper for supper. Yum!
