Camping at Bigriggen-Day 1

Shameful number of posts last year. I can do better! Really, I can!

Last week, Benji and I went camping with our homeschooling group at Bigriggen. Gotta love that name. On the way, I saw a place called "Ugly Gully". Nothing particularly ugly about it but what do I know? Anyway, we had a great time listening to podcasts and chatting. It was about a 2 hour drive from our home passing thru Beaudesert and Rathdowney. No traffic and beautiful scenery. Driving into the campground brought us face to face with a herd of cattle. We stopped to stare at them like we'd never seen cows before and they stared at us like they'd never laid eyes on humans. Since we were early, we checked in and had a picnic under a tree. We reviewed the rules, of which there were plenty.

The strangest one being "No Whips". I tried to imagine how often that had been a problem. We shared our picnic with a cute little bird until it started to rain. Leanne and her family arrived soon after the shower was over.

Setting up camp was hot work but we had it finished quite quickly. That night, the possums came to visit. My gosh, they are menace. Cute but so bold! Every night we had to possum proof the camp and Benji made up a song about being on "Possum Patrol".
