Camping Benny style...

Our camp site- what you can't see is the ute packed perfectly with everything imagianable. That's what happens when a 9yr old conutry boy takes a week to pack from a over night camping trip- generator and all?!
Sling shot adventuring!
Reparing yabbie nets.
And more reparing!
Sling me happy- yer! No animals were injured, not any where near (but Ben will tell you different!)
Ben won- it was a yabby dreaming of being a lobster!
Boil boil boil- Yum yum yum!
Camp fire magic
Marshmellow magic!
Ben & our guard dog and morning glory kt!

Taught Benny to start fires from hot coals with breath & grass!
Ben's 1st time to do stick damper- He loves it!

Damper king.
What the floods did last year-loads of erosion &huge tree debrie
Benny throwing out for another pot of yabbies!
Pepsi the super dog!!! made her jump 4 times before she realised she could walk across!
(She's really really lazy & boring acutally!)
Me and my essentials while yabby pot checking-Two-way & pouch, camera & Bow n Arrow!!
Some of the yabbies we caught- Yum Yum.
Woops- Governess Kati 'Sticks" the tyre & there ain't no tools to change it!
This is part of the SUPER long (2.5hr) walk home!!
A beautiful leaveless tree that we passed on our 28 Oc trip home.
Benny starting to tire-he fought on as there was so other choice!

Oh man, what an adventure! I'm green with envy over here. We need to take a little bit of my life and a little bit of your life and switch, ooh what fun that would be! The yabbies, oh the yabbies! Andrew's gonna die when he reads this post. It's every boy's dream (and girls like me!).
