Camp Julimar!

We had a BALL with John and family this weekend. It's a long weekend as it was the Queen's birthday, so we all decided to go camping... Ozzy style!
Jen Jen was packed to the rafters with 'kit' and we followed John's directions up the Great Northern Highway, off through Bullsbrook and right onto Julimar road (after a bit of 'jiggery pokery' and into the bush to find a beautiful place in the woods where John had already lit the fire! half an hour later our, yes - OUR tent (also from John as a second hand, VERY reasonable bargain!) was up and we were looking forward to cooling off with a 'beer or two'


This is a photo of how we had to push the cars through the tough bits of the bush. There was a track around the water, but I had to laugh when John got bogged (too much water around the coil and dizzy!) so I (a 'fresh pom' )had to pull him out!!!
