Sun, 19th Oct, 2014 Big Toms Beach, Cobram

A lot warmer night – only one blanket. At 8am it was 17 degrees inside but with the cool breeze a brisk 14.6 degrees outside. Decided to spend another day as it is so nice. Koalas asleep in their trees. Mum and bub still in theirs but Dad moved to another one across the road.

Rick rang for some gas help and then we chatted with Kaylene.

I prepared beef curry and rice in the Ecopot while Steve did some adjustment on the front of the van. A ski boat arrived and zoomed up the river. Just sounded like Jon at Tinaroo.

Warm day with a lovely breeze. Relaxing, looking at the river and reading up about Bendigo and the Murray River from all the articles I have scanned onto the laptop. More timber collecting and checking on my koalas. 

Mum and bub are cuddled up together.

  

  Dad is still snoring in the other tree.

Went for a walk along the river again checking out the other campsites. Steve said this is the caravan testing track!! Luckily there was a bypass track.

Getting koalaitis – sore neck looking up into the trees!!! Found another one and he was on a branch over the road!!

After walking back out to the entrance and back we found another koala just down from the first one.

The first one had moved further up the tree as a few people had driven through.

A just for something different – found a bird – black crow who wanted to walk with us!! Actually - got that wrong - this is the lovely songbird Currawong but not a nice bird as it attacks other's nests etc.

Quiet arvo and it is still very warm – such a change – we had to sit back from the fire as we were too hot!!!  Rang Lou for a chat, then he rang back to say Kevin Locke had passed away and another chap Steve knows too. Glad we are on the road doing what we want now. Life is too short!!
