3 day, 3 girl, 3 dog camping
Last week I took 3 days off and went camping with 3 of my daughters. We were the envy of the Coorabell School camping excursion when we pulled up with our 3 Dog Camping trailer. On our first night as luck would have it rained like cats and dogs. We were high and dry inside our 3 Dog unlike many of the water logged campers; in fact, we took in a couple of refugees from the rain.
Another big hit on the camping trip was my Presso coffee maker.
On the first morning I became a teacher's pet, which was a first for me, when I offered to make the teachers a well earned hot cup of camp coffee. There were so many events during our stay at Woody Head near Iluka but here are a few highlights: learning to track animals with the park ranger, sand castle competition on the beach in Yamba and of course the two possums that blessed the rafters of the barracks that half our group slept in on our last night. I had the privilege to settle the children down with a bad bit of bush poetry which included....Possums it's time to go to bed in the shed at Woody Head.
