MYRTLE BANK

SUNDAY 18 - MONDAY 19.3.2012: We extended ourselves and drove a little further to Myrtle Bank. $3.00 a night - your own site, table, chairs, garbage bin, use of amenities, plus campfire and barbecue - perfect! We were allocated Campsite 2 by the river, so we drove round an enormous park looking for our area. Finally found No 2, but the site had a caravan (with awning out and pegged), a motorhome, plus 2 cars. We pulled up aways and contemplated our next action. Almost a Guinness Book of Records - we have never seen a campsite packed up with such speed - 10 minutes and that included attaching the car to the caravan. As we took up residence we noticed the fire still burning!
Highlight of the stay - viewed our first platypus in its' natural environment - back rolls, feeding and scratching. Only have a photo of water movement, but the experience will forever be in the memory bank - we hope!

  1. Oh! Is that the Loch Ness Monster I see doing back-stroke next to the platypus?
    Wait, before you say it. Yes, it could be the Green-eyed Monster I see in the reflection of the computer screen.

    1. No, I must say that the first comment to mind - thank goodness someone could see S-O-M-E-T-H-I-N-G in the photo - that was the best of m-a-n-y photos!
