Gismo Queen and her King

Day 12 - Saturday 8 January 2021 - Miena to Nile

 We had an easy slow morning and waved off the Thomas’ who were heading to the East Coast today. Eventually, we headed down the mountain which is a real zig zag road. We stopped for lunch in Longford, bought a few things at the supermarket and even stopped in at a steel sculpting place because I want a scupture of Rocco made for the new garden bed at the house entrance. We then headed across to Graham and Michele’s where Graham met us to guide us down to their campsite by the river. After all the rain, things were pretty wet so we started the get the tyres wet as we crossed dubious looking tracks. But what really met the definition of dubious was this little old concrete bridge that didnt look as if it would stand the weight of the Patriot! Graham assired me trucks had passed over it so I very cautiously started picking my way over. It was also quite narrow whcih was very disconcerting! Anyway we made it, at which point Graham told me there had been another way - I think we’ll go back that way tomorrow! Anyway, Camp Dolittle is an amazing little spot right on the South Esk River. It was a lovely warm sunny evening and we had a great catch up over dinner and drinks as we watched the sunset.
