What a great sleep in! How relaxing is it when you know you don’t have a travel day and you can sleep in?

Later in the morning Rich and I took the kids down to the thermal pool for a soak. It was lovely soaking in the hot water. It comes out of the bore pipe at 42°.

Back at camp I got out my little camp oven and, using the hot coals from our fire the previous night, made a damper for morning tea. It was delicious.

It was a relaxing reading afternoon followed by another walk over to the thermal pool for another soak. It certainly was relaxing.

It was my turn to cook and we enjoyed a BBQ of steak and sausages cooked by Rich on the Biji-BBQ accompanied by a potato bake and a beetroot & feta salad. There was nothing left over! Ice cream in a cone was the usual dessert for the kids. Love that I can have ice cream in the freezer for them.

We had a chat around the campfire about the next few days and the kids surprised us by saying they were missing school and their friends. They were ready to go home. So we decided to have a big driving day the next day and see how far we could get towards home. We were still 825km from home though so it would probably take a couple of days to get there.
