We took the camper trailer, our hammock, rockclimbing gear, Christmas decorations and a large Santa teddy, as well as general camping paraphernalia and of course the all-important gifts from under our tree.
Santa found us safe and well in the bush and Rosie received the 'Tangerine Boat' (see Alison Lester's book 'Magic Beach') she had been asking for since Winter. Luckily Santa visited us early and Rosie had the whole of our trip to paddle her boat on the lake.
Nana and Pop enjoyed walking the many tracks that lead from the campground, particularly the walk through Chalwell Galleries, which was more like caving at times. We also visited the Monolith, the Underground River and Mount McLeod.
On our walks we saw many wildflowers, including the Trigger Plant, which Pop showed Rosie how to trigger with a stick. This then became a pastime that stopped us many times as walked!
Ian also took Rosie rock climbing on a couple of short climbs.
Christmas Day was cooler but still Sunny and we had a nice Christmas lunch with hot veggies, tinned ham and pineapple and Christmad pudding and custard - we were spoiled campers!
Merry Christmas to all :-)
