After the bleakness of Gilberton Station, we decided we needed to see green again, so headed towards Atherton. An overnight stop in Mt Surprise before heading to Atherton, saw us in a very secluded end of the local caravan park. Very run down but dark and quiet at night.
We booked a campsite for three nights at Platypus Point for the second time. This time it was very cold besides the lake and very full due to school holidays beginning.
Stone Curlews in the National Park.
The biggest Nankeen Night Heron I have ever seen.
Shortly after arriving, two young girls drove in a set up their tent. I knew their faces. From where?.........
Rachel worked at the IGA in Moruya and Siaborrn(?) Thresfel from Nerrigundah. She was completing her honours degree in marine management and Rachel was their visiting her friend.
Whilst we were at the lake a huge number of stand-up paddle boarders appeared. It was getting dark. These people had all driven from Cairns to take place in a full moon stand-up paddle board tour, the first time held in Australia.
The paddlers prepared a fire so that they could find their way back and all wore fleuro bands and torches, so that they could see each other on the lake.
Whilst there, we met somone who had created a very cleverly designed tripod and grill for the open camp fire.
