Day 7: Walpole Rest Day

Today's itinerary was changed a couple of weeks ago so that everyone could have an opportunity to view the magnificent forests and tree top walk in the area.

I have woken with terrible sinus headache and just can't get my head off the pillow- the stomach is churning as well. I stayed in bed and listened to the riders trying to keep the noise down for me before they took off to town for a late breakfast. I eventually rose around 10 am and we went into town to meet them.

Jim went for a walk around the town and has found us an oil drum for our campfires. He decided to test it out at the campground and the manager was not happy. The manager got him a cement fireplace so then we had a lovely fire. There was another drama with the manager over the use of firewood from around the camp area so Jacquei went and bought a bag of wood off him and he settled down. The oil drum now has pride of place in the middle of the trailer ready for our first bush camp.

Jacquei, Collis and I went to see the tingle trees and then the treetop walk. We ran into Peter up there and he has no fear of heights so he actually did the walk whereas Jacquei and I just did some shopping at the gift shop. Peter informed us that Dennis has decided to leave the ride and he should confirm this tomorrow. Di is suffering quite a bit from her hip pain today. Hopefully the rest day will help her.

Fran and Jim sat around camp recuperating.

Collis decided to cook the three campers a BBQ tonight and Jacquei made the salads. Nice night sitting around the fire. There was a little bit of drizzle but it didn't deter us from sitting at the fireside.
