The mozzies were still out in force this morning. They were so bad that Mark stayed in bed until the sun was well and truly up hoping they would then disappear- they didn't. I sat in the car to eat my breakfast in peace. Ingrid was packing up her tent and found an enormous spider (the size of a dinner plate, according to her) on her tent. She went to scream but instead swallowed a mouthful of mozzies and then vomited. All very dramatic but Jane came to her rescue with a shoe and it disappeared into the bush, never to be recorded as proof of existence.
Packing up this morning was a very unpleasant experience and the mozzies did eventually disappear only to be replaced by flies. Today we rode through the Pandanos Forest, across the Sth Alligator River and through expansive river flats. Great scenery.
Aurora is looking a bit more rundown since our last visit 2 years ago. The grass is still green for the campers but the amenity blocks are quite dilapidated. We had the briefing in The Bar and then everyone stayed for dinner. The swimming pool was good value.
