Some of the less glamorous moments of camping, by Ginnie

So the man is off hunting and gathering, fishing off the rocks, and I have the urge to attend to the call of nature. Not quite so easy for us girls out in the bush even with the aid of my handy sheewee! As I am walking along the rocks trying to find a suitable spot my feet go out from under me and I end up on my back, feet in the air sliding head first down a huge water rushing crevasse!! This could be the end of all our adventures!! I summon all my strength (my pilates and body balance classes coming to the fore as I sucked in my core muscles) to halt my slide to destruction, gather my senses and what is left of my dignity, and slowly find my way to my feet. Disaster averted, I live to carry on with just a few cuts and bruises 🙂

    Oh dear! Glad you are OK. Have just found this blog. Sounds fun. Glen has got some of the “essentials” for free camping ready in the garage. Just hasn’t got the girl with the adventure spirit …yet….give me time…

  2. I seem to remember that girl braving some pretty bleak, harsh conditions at Adaminaby some years ago! This is much more comfortable!! Glad you found us, we are having a blast. Lots of love, Ginnie xx

  4. Missed that opportunity Pete. Would have been a YouTube sensation I reckon.

    Was going to ask you about the Shewee but didn’t know how to spell it. Now the whole world knows about it! So glad you were not seriously hurt but do take care.

  6. Thanks Fran, I have been so concerned about my Mum and her fall and broken pelvis you think I would be more careful!
