Galena Bridge Campsite

Sun 15^th June 

This campsite beside the river was so pleasant, the sky was blue and the sun was bright and warm so we decided to have an R&R day. We spent the whole day enjoying the beautiful weather. Most of the other vans departed, leaving about 8 or 10 van sites occupied. I did some embroidery, Jan read, George watched videos and Mick  pottered around putting his pig together, sitting in the sun, strolling around and chatting to other campers. In the early afternoon more people started to arrive, including a group of three bike riders and their support crew. They are riding from the most westerly to the most easterly point of Australia to raise money for kids in the Congo. They were fairly sore when they got here. I heard one mutter, “Three days down, 39 to go.”  It has taken us longer than that just to get to here and we are in a car.  After cooking dinner on the pig and sitting around it for a couple of hours we went to bed toasty warm.
