Monday 18 February 2013
The morning dawned cloudy and cool. The boys dressed down the kill on the kitchen table while I took off for a run – with four gate openings and one cattle grid. When I got back they’d just fried up a little sample of venison for breakfast (yum!). The boys (Mark, Bradley and Max) set out for another little drive and Glenn and I tidied up a bit and sat down to try and work out where to head next. We’re still not quite sure. Mark and the two boys were heading home this afternoon, so we decided to stay another day and spend it cooking in preparation for more days on the road. A quick trip into Deepwater Foodworks (and a $40 grocery shop) should help do the trick!
In the afternoon we followed Mark and the boys off on a drive within the property boundaries, to a great big boulder with a magnificent view. Mark’s planning to build a humpy up there, in the style of The Man From Snowy River. While we’ve been here, Glenn’s fixed as much of the electrical as he can and Mark joked that he’ll have to come back once the humpy’s finished to do that too – no complaints here! After we got back, the boys packed off and headed back to Murwillumbah and after some more map-gazing, we called it an early night.
