A big roll-up of camper trailers etc. for the
first Queensland meet of 2017 saw several new faces to the group,
some members we hadn’t seen in a while, and some ‘new to the state’
members in addition to many regular campers. The weather was
exceptionally hot so the track cleared to the river was well trodden
as members took the plunge into the river and perched on submerged
rocks to cool off.
Our annual working bee around the grounds started on Wednesday as
people arrived and a hand mower was used to clear an area for each
camper trailer. With each new arrival more ground was mown, and
‘patches’ were joined until a substantial area both around the
trailers and the Scout Den was cleared. The formal working bee on
Saturday morning finished off the mowing, tidied up fallen timber
and whipper snipped the area around the den in preparation for the
new Scouting year. A huge ‘thank you’ to everyone for their help in
the very hot weather.
Some of us had work, family and other social/sightseeing trips away
from the camp over the weekend so there was a bit of coming and
going but everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. As usual,
conversations were ‘mist-interpreted’ or mis-heard, with very
humourous results…and maintaining a state of hilarity while keeping
up our fluids (did I mention it was hot!) was the priority for the
few days.
Thank you to everyone who came and contributed to the conversations
and merriment. We look forward to seeing you all again at future
camps.

p.s. The Scout Group passes on their thanks and welcomed us back any
time.
