Back To Civilisation

In the morning we packed everything back in the trailer, bikes, food, dogs ... We left the baby wallaby behind.

An easy drive back along sealed roads. Everyone went to sleep, except the driver. Once unloaded we found a cool Christmas tree beetle in the garden before heading to collect the meat from the butcher's for the New Year's Eve Party. 4kg each of pork, beef and chicken! Darryl helped to chop the chicken whilst the other meat was being prepared in a brine marinade ready for the smoker on New Year's Eve.

A relaxing afternoon before we headed to the outdoor Sunset Cinema at the botanical gardens. Whilst we were walking to the gardens a crowd of police pounced on a group of youths, who had obviously been up to no good. Once we were seated, we watched a beautiful sunset, a hundred fruit bats flying overhead and finally the movie, A Star was Born. What a great evening topped off with delicious popcorn.
