Very bouncy return through the previous days cool burning and some commencing today to & over the log bridge and back to the main road. [We have been advised by some campers at Seisia that vehicles leaving later encountered large trees fallen across the track as a result of the cool burning. In addition a backhoe had been called into improve the track and approach to the log bridge].
The ferry problems had been rectified at Jardine River and we received 25% discount on the fee of $88.00 due to [2] seniors cards being produced - discounts are tangible up here!!!!
From there Tony took us to a World War 2[WW11] DC3 plane wreck, which occurred nearly at the end of the war with all on board killed.
Then onto Barmaga, on tar for a change. Lunch break was taken with a visit to the Barmaga Bakery – very fresh baking with both Dot & Tony indulging in a cream bun.
Then off to Seisia and to the Loyalty Caravan Park to set up camp some 20 metres from the water’s edge with a view of the islands opposite – the sunsets are spectacular over the water.
The caravan park had a herd of wild horses grazing through the park.
Arrival at Seisia sent the mobile phones [not Tony’s – no 3G…..Super secretary Rhoda to rectify on return] into over drive with full reception – SMSs coming in every few minutes. This enabled a blog update of previous week.
