Another gorgeous morning. We are certainly relishing the warmth, although the afternoon heat can be a little unpleasant. I’m currently sitting under the awning because I found it too hot to sleep in the tent after about 25 minutes. There’s a nice breeze and the girls are cool enough for their naps because they’re down on the ground, plus they have a fan on them. No one else is here, although we heard a boat yesterday afternoon and a car this morning. It’s deliciously quiet. Every now and then a fish jumps and splashes in the river, birds twitter lazily and a light wind rustles the leaves. Wonder what the rich people are doing...
Glenn and the girls did a spot of half-hearted fishing this morning. He rigged up some little hand-held nets for them to try and catch yabbies and baby fish. Glenn caught a yabby, threw it on a line and lost it instantly – so there’s definitely lots out there! They paddled in the water for a while, but it was pretty cold, especially for Sienna. She’s been particularly clingy today and seemed positively relieved when she was put into bed for a sleep. Yasmin was quite demanding earlier in the morning, but settled down a bit after we did some letter writing and drawing. Hopefully they continue to adjust to our new lifestyle.
We picked up some brochures on Central Queensland yesterday, which we’ll use to help determine what we do and where we head from here. We’ll try and take our time, finding as many free camps as possible (we haven’t had to pay for a night’s accommodation since Hastings Point).
