Hello from the banks of the Snowy River!
Since Eden we had a short hop to Bournda NP. Not much to report because there were no fish in either the sea or the lake! The camp site was pretty ritzy tho with hot showers and good facilities. We also were rudely awakened during the night by a possum who had broken into the annex for a sticky beak. From Bournda we headed for the hills to a midpoint to break up the drive to a place called Numeralla. Again not much to report, we got to the mighty Numeralla River and it was dirty and ridden with carp.
So now we are into day 3 of a stint in the hills. Only one small trout bagged by Bronson to report at this stage but we have another day or so here to add to the tally. The country is magnificent and one can see why you would be tempted to launch into reciting bush poetry. Again some fire struck areas that were hit hard in 2003 but the bush is doing what it does best and coming back strong. The water is very cold on the tootsies when wet wading, not suprising really seeing there is still snow on the peaks. Think we will have to leave the climbing of the summit of Kosciusko for a return trip. This has been the highlight of our trip so far, although Lulu is labouring up the hills and is inclined to disagree with us!
We did come across the national park's nudist colony this afternoon. Upon returning to our camp site from the first night we mounted the hill to be confronted by an elderly couple enjoying a spot of fishing in the nude! Upon reflection Bronson thinks he has figured out why our fishing tally is low for this leg of the trip...apparently we have been using the wrong tackle!
Must be time for another Bacardi, over and out for now!
