Bingara March 2019

Well! Time to head off and catch up with my Nomad friends again.
Had a good run but found out I came the long route. Still some interesting scene
Mt Lindsay



Had a nice drive and arrived in Bingara mid afternoon to find some of the other had already arrived and it was time for happy hour.  We had a few excellent happy hours with lots of laughs.


 Happy hour couldn't dull the call of MAFS and the TV had a captive audience when it was on.



The river is running very low and nothing like it was in October. 2018 however, there was still enough to put the feet in to cool down.  Low enough to drive across this time.
Not much grass for the horses and it shows. A couple of the group bought some bales of hay for them but they could do with a lot more.







Lots happening at this camp, Chrisr showed us all how to make dampers and she did it very well. Once Scotty arrived with the pergola the camp fires really started happening. The camp oven cooking was something I had never seen before so it was a real education and easy when you know how. I even got the jaffle iron out. 



We had a lesson or two on using Wiki Camps so I will know where I am going now before I leave home.





If you look along the river you will see where the camp is. A third of the way up on the left.




There were dogs galore and I must say I am cured of wanting to travel with a pet of any kind. Dogs are beautiful creatures but the unknown can happen when they are all strangers to each other.



It was lovely to meet up with old friends and meet new ones.



There were two hair dressers and I scored a great haircut by Kaye. As the camp wound down and our numbers dwindled we got to share some funny stories at the happy hour and got to see the real side of our travelers and what a blast it was. The Princess (Renae) was a laugh a minute and kept us out until 10pm on her last night in camp..

Well I am back in QLD for some car and self maintenance then I will decide whether I will go North or South. Mind you I still have to wait until August for my eyes to be done.

Cheers until my next adventure. Stay safe.
