It was a nice cool start to the day but the prediction was
it was going to get hot. We packed and headed
to town to get Food, Fuel and breakfast.
Ben, Lani, Matt, Mel and the kids had a look through the town and a few
shops after breakfast. We were all ready
to leave just on 10am. At this stage we
could feel the heat in the sun and were happy to be in the cars and on the
move.
It was only about 20kms down the road we turned off and were
back onto dirt. We aired down turned on
the air-con and pushed on. It was a long
climb up and over the mountain and across the top.
We saw on the track ahead a old Steam Powered logging winch
site ahead. We pulled in and were so
fascinated with the information and age of the machinery that is still
there. Some of the pullies were still in
the trees and many of the large wires were still hanging. After taking photos
we pushed onto camp.
We were surprised to come across Moscow Villa and read the
story about it. The hut is in great
condition and the national parks guys were there cutting up wood for any
visitors who wanted to stay the night and use the fire place. It is only 200m from here to camp. At camp we all found a nice shady spot to put
our tents the shelter was put up over the picnic table and there were more
national park workers cutting wood and placing it by the fire pit for us to
use.
It was a hot day so the boys went driving looking for a
river and the girls had naps and read.
The afternoon just rolled by and soon the roast was on and we were
cooling off. Tonight we played Texas
hold em poker. I won 2 rounds and Ben
won 1. It was a very funny great night.
