Friday 8th November
SHE SAID:
It was an interesting day out. The Sun orchids were finally open, lots seen in 4 locations.
At the last stop we bumped into Tom & Sally Tolman, whom we met around 4 years ago. They are Pommies that come over frequently orchid hunting. Well, Tom is the orchid nut & Sally is the “tag-along”.
There were also other hunters around. Tom told me one was Nick Prest (I know the name, but never met him). Plus, friends with him.
Back at the campground the wind must have been strong as the awning was torn slightly, though the frame, luckily, wasn’t bent.
Geoff battled to put it way. We were both amused at the set-up routine of the people next to us. We think the caravan might be either hired or very new to them. It was a pop-top with 2 expandable beds, one at each end, which they them seemed to struggle to sort out. We think there are 3 or 4 adults & possibly 2 kids! Cosy!

HE SAID:
It was a cold start to the day, but luckily it warmed up nicely. Meeting Tom and Sally randomly in the bush was a surprise. Tom said that he had just emailed Varena this morning, but nothing received yet. We found a few orchids today, so Varena was pleased.
