First things first when we arrived... after setting up camp a load of washing was needed. I let out a little scream when I took my load of washing out of the machine ... sitting at the bottom of the machine was a green frog. The poor thing had been washed, rinsed spun for 1/2 hour in the machine. Fortunately another woman was there as well and she took him out for me.... stilll alive! Our camp here is shady & in the bush. We have power & water & phone service (if you stood in the right spot) which was a surprise! 
Tony is happy as he has finally got the kayak wet.... had a beautiful paddle along the coast of Barn Hill Station but hasn't been so lucky with the fish.... I had a nice peaceful read on the beach.
Tony was very hopefull here by the look on his face..... still no fish, but enjoyed the challenge.
This picture shows the red cliffs we were sitting on, but these are the unpowered sites, no shade at all, but had spectacular views of the surf beach
185 people gathered here to enjoy a 3 course meal on the lawns overlooking the beach. The station owner cooked home made soup, roast & vegies, fruit salad and icecream for all these campers for $15 a head. We took our own cutlery and crockery, tables & chairs, and of course, the esky! To top it of we had a live Aboriginal Band playing for 3 hours...... lots of rock & rolling & dancing by everyone on the lawns! My back & a few other things suffered from all the dancing but was worth it... has been a year now since my diagnosis but feel I am just about back now!
One of the many beautiful sunsets we have seen - Oh and one more thing about Barn Hill... the Station owner also cooked home made bread, rolls & fantastic vanilla slices everyday! Had to be at the shop early or you would miss out! Just as well we are doing a lot of walking..... I seem to remember sharing one everyday!Our next camp is Eighty Mile Beach..... not far to drive today!
