Sunday 11th June, 2023 found us at the Alice Springs international airport collecting Peter’s eldest daughter Catherine & her 2 & a half year old daughter Georgia. It was awesome to see them again & looking forward to having them both spending a week here at Hamilton Downs Youth Camp with us. The red gums were flowering in the airport carpark so I had to take a pic – they were quite beautiful.
Catherine & Georgia do a few rounds of the camp grounds when we don’t have clients or when they are out walking & she does an inspection of the ablution block, bunkhouses & kitchen area also checks out the red tractor.
Grandpa was the chief marsh mellow cook, not sure how much actually made it into Georgia’s mouth but she seemed happy with the gooo.
Went for a drive down a track & found a small waterhole obviously the cows drink from it with lotz of ‘paddies’ on the ground. We found another track which took us over lotz of rocks & to another watering hole for the cattle, there was quite a few cattle at this one as well as a heron & lotz of finches. We stopped for a small walk, had a snack before heading back to camp – quite an enjoyable few hours.
