Greenup
Meeting Place weekend
Saturday 13th to Sunday 14th April, 2024
An Australian CamperTrailers Group members weekend get together was held at
Greenup Meeting Place near Inglewood SE Qld
on the weekend of 13th & 14th
April 2024 hosted by Rick & Carol.
Attendees arrived from Thursday 11th April and set up on a spacious open
area beside Bracker Creek, a tributary to Coolmundra Dam. Around 60mm of
rain had fallen the previous week so everything was very green. The weather
was very pleasant and the night gatherings around the fire were more for
ambience than warmth.
The meet morning tea was held on Friday due to some members having to attend
the Saturday Yoga and Wire Workshop held at the Greenup Meeting Place
facilities. An outcome from this was Robyn Edward’s and Carol’s wire birds
in a nest which were very interesting, as were their sore bodies from the
yoga/walk.
The daily visits by the local cattle
were entertaining more so because they took such a great interest in Mike’s
solar panels and did not want to move on (this seemed to happen with people
at his awning late in the day also for some reason). One lone emu was also
spotted several times over the weekend which was a little unusual for this
area. There was a few mass gatherings of birds chasing bait balls in the
creek and also two red belly black snakes swimming across the creek towards
camp on separate days.
The fishing was slow, but Kaleb kept busy catching shrimp and fishing (with
a little help). Tally for the weekend was 2 x eel tailed catfish, 3 x
turtles and 1 x cormorant (all released successfully).
Some attendees did day trips around
the local area, but some more adventurous ones (Collette +Ian) attended some
open houses in Toowoomba searching for a new abode. The Jenkinsons finally
made it late Sunday, but that’s another long story.
Overall a very pleasant weekend enjoying each others company and location
with some members staying longer and continuing their travels.
