1770.

Hi all, since Fraser Island we have had 3 different camps. The first was Wongi. A state forest with a series of water holes near Lenthall Dam. The first photo's are of this area. It was a very peaceful spot with lots of birds.
Next was a roadside 48 hour parking bay. It had big trees and was not too far from Lake Monduran.  Went fishing from the kayaks, hoping to get some Red Claw (big tropical yabby) and a Barramundi. It was lovely out on the lake but only caught a big cat fish each. They put up a good fight.
I got a nasty deep barb in the calf muscle from mine. The venom made it very painful.
When we got back to the van I used hot flannels on the leg, as heat destroys the venom and reduces pain. I then decided to increase the pain again by flushing the hole with peroxide. This stirred me up beautifully. I fainted. Poor Garry, my nurse, was busy prepairing hot flannels for the leg and a cold flannel for my face.
We are at Eurimbula National Park near 1770. This is the spot Cook discovered Australia. I don't believe he noticed that it had already been discovered.
Our current camp is near an estuary, that we have been kayaking in.
Unfortunately the weather is windy and wet still. At least it's not cold but the sky is grey and the ocean rough.
Today we explored Joseph Banks Conservation Park and Deepwater National park. A lovely bit of coast but not a good day for the beach.
See ya.
