Bell Gorge
Good nights sleep had by all – woke up at 6am. Breakfast of
cereal and toast. Finished off last of the bread. Early morning spent relaxing
and sharing stories. Late morning we drove to Bell Gorge and walked down to the
lower falls for a swim. The water was very cold but invigorating once in. Lots
of good photo opportunities. The waterfall was quite spectacular from the base
looking up. Lunch was oranges and fruit cake. After a long swim and relax, Rob
and I decided to trail a path and walk downstream to see what was there. We
found another waterfall about 700metres further down and quite stunning in
outlook.
We returned to camp early afternoon. Decided to have a
shower but found water pressure very low and no hot water. Also tried to use
phone card at Telstra box to call home but phone would not take Telstra card
which we found to be very odd. Paul’s card would also not work. Got a headache
today and think it a touch of dehydration as temps in the mid 30s. Decided to
increase my water intake and ensure that I am drinking 4 glasses during early
morning around breakfast. Went for a walk around the campsite that afternoon
and what an array of tents, camper trailers and offroad caravans. It has been a
good opportunity to see what is out there and of course to make the obvious
comparisons with my own trailer. Heated up Lucy’s curry and rice for dinner –
again all eaten and no complaints from the boys. DEC rules required all
generator to be turned off by 8pm so we went to bed.
Recovered from headache so stayed up and wrote diary. Also
reduced tyre pressure on Nissan and trailer – front tyres to 30psi, rear tyres
to 35psi and trailer tyres 35psi.
