The first big challenge was to actually get away, which I did albeit an hour and a half later than I intended. I managed to successfully negotiate Mt Keira road without any spillages or things coming adrift so my confidence levels increased as we got underway.
Yes, too much stuff I know but who knows I may need it all.
I arrived at Ponto Falls at 4pm. So it was a long days travel. Seven of us are camped along the river bank. We made our teas, chatted and have all retired for the evening.

I was pleased that I had prepared corned beef and veges before I left and it continued to cook on the way in the Wonder Box I had made, It sat on the passenger seat all the way.

I won’t be at our usual Tuesday lunch tomorrow so enjoy your lunch and excellent company.
Retired in April 2017 after a long career in cardiac nursing which I loved, I find my life has totally changed. After almost loosing my husband last August to a dissecting aortic aneurysm complicated by a massive watershed stroke post cardiothoracic surgery, we are adapting to a very different life together. This is our now story. Update, November 2025. Chris continued to do well until he had a stroke in August 2018. This time after 2 weeks on life support with no sign of improvement he passed away peacefully with the family present. RIP Chris, much loved and missed.
