Cranky Rock Nature Reserve

NSW/SE Qld members meet Warialda NSW

held on the ANZAC long weekend from Friday 25th until Sunday 27th April 2008

    We arrived at Cranky Rock on the Thursday afternoon. Already present were Rex & Ann, Tony & Sharon, Sharon & Richard (Patrick, Rhiaan & Jack) and Gus & Jill.

    Arriving latter that day were Roger & Sue, Suzanne & John and Stephen & James. John & Machelle stopped in the say high with the intention of retuning on Sunday.

    That evening gave signs of what we could expect for Anzac day. The day started overcast and drizzling and stayed that way most of the only clearing for a camp fire session that night.

    Light rain fell during the night clearing to a fine Saturday after an early mist.

    Tony and Sharon left early Saturday followed by Susan & John leaving after lunch.

     During the day a number of high level informal meetings broke out to discuss the finer points of camper trailer setup. I understand that a number of long standing trade secrets were divulged.

Stephen tidies up, for fear that the wife might think he runs an untidy camp

    Strangely enough, nobody seemed keen on using the open air cold shower. A number of showering options were on display over the weekend.

    The weekend came to a quiet conclusion as the time for each member to break camp and return home.
