Lake St Clair

Lake St Clair - around 2 hours drive from home

We had been home a little over a week from our January camping trip and decided on another, shorter (weekend) adventure. The weather wasn't brilliant but had remained overcast only, until we stopped for firewood not far from home- and then it poured!  We drove up past Singleton and waved to the flying foxes as we passed their park, then testing our set-up speed against the incoming storm.  We did OK!

Although it rained on and off over the weekend, we enjoyed the time away.  There were many tiny frogs in the reeds along the lake's edge, so we spotted for them in the night-time - and we were visited by a very forward possum.  He/she tried to scale Erin's leg when she was eating dinner on our first night!  I'm sure the same one traipsed over our tent roof on another night.  I lay in bed and watched it's footprints sink into the roof!

Our three-height tables were particularly appreciated on this short trip.  The site was quite sloped, so we adjusted one set of legs shorter than the other and enjoyed a level work surface - brilliant!

Even with the rain, the campground was fairly busy due to a weekend fishing competition.  Although we were not competing, our new Kmart fishing rod broke in half at first cast, so definitely not a good start for our efforts!  I'm sure some of the experienced campaigners caught fish but Nick, Erin and Vaughan were not so lucky.
