Twas the day after the day after Christmas

Another lovely rest day.  There are a few more people trickling into the camping area, but it is not the massive crush I thought it might be.

Grant and Joseph headed off on a walk this morning, while the rest of us straightened up the van, did the dishes, and played rummykub.  A kangaroo got very interested in our rubbish bin at one point, and when I tried to scare him/her away, she jumped back with her head and one arm still caught in the swing lid top of the bin.  It took her a little while to wiggle herself out of the bin lid and hop away.

Bacon and egg sandwiches, with beetroot and lettuce etc, were very yummy for lunch, then we all headed off to see what walk Grant and Joseph had done in the morning.

Up Stamford Hill we climbed, over multiple ant colonies that were very aggressive when disturbed.  We reached the summit for a lovely view of Boston Bay, and also to see the memorial to Matthew Flinders who came in 1802 to survey the coast.  He seemed to search for fresh water all along the coast around here. 

Back at Surfleet cove we played on the beach, it was too cold to swim, then had fish for dinner, followed by mulberries from some bushes around the campground.  We had a nice chat with Tony and Val, telling them all our worst jokes, before heading off to bed.
