Depression Days

Depression Days - Back from holidays

Have just arrived home this afternoon after a week camping in the Flinders Ranges in South Australia. Had a good time, great to spend time in the outdoors so close to the wonderful wildlife we have here in Australia. We had kangaroos jumping past our caravan, we saw emu's, wallaby, kangaroos, echidna's, monitor lizards, blue tongue lizards, lots of flies (could have done without those), tadpoles, corellas and possums. I love seeing all these animals in their natural environment, it is just fantastic.

Although the one natural thing we could have done without was the massive wind storm we had 2 nights ago, I have never felt such strong winds it was so scarey, I was crying I was so scared. Some people near us packed up their tent and went to find a pub to stay in for the night. That was really scary and not the best night, didn't get a lot of sleep that night and was glad when the night was over, by morning it was nice and calm and turned out to be a beautiful day.

We blew a tyre on the 4wd on a dirt track and were quite worried about the spare tyre going very far as it was quite bald and half flat, it made it though to a town where we had to spend the night while they ordered some tyres to arrive over night.

Overall though the week was quite good, kids and dog had a ball. Glad to get home though to my own bed, a nice hot shower, water that I can drink out the tap and a toilet - not real keen on peeing in the bush.
