Report:
A total of 17 Walkers enjoyed each others’ company at Princess Margaret Rose Caves. The Dry Creek Walk fulfilled the requirement for gentle exercise, followed by wine and nibbles, and frivolities got us all merry and jolly, to the theme of “Favourite Bush Characters”.
To the great delight of the crowd present, Prancer and Dancer arrived with Santa in tow. Although few of the Walkers admitted to being “good” during the year, presents were duly distributed, with shrieks of joy!
Crickey! We were fortunate to have a wide variety of deceased personalities visiting to bring a few laughs. Steve (Helen) Irwin pranced around the campfire with a Croc, accompanied by John Williamson’s song; The Crocodile Roll. She seemed quite happy to share her tent all night with that primitive animal. Enough said.
Bushrangers, Ben Hall and the Outlaws burst on the scene, demanding money from the startled campers. No one claimed to have any money, poor buggers. More of a stuff-up than a stick-up!
Things got off to a bad start as I (Ken) forgot the gas stove, but the weekend was great with good company and plenty of fellowship.
Marg is still searching for the Red Tailed Black Cockatoo. What a magnificent meal. Lothar “Iron Chef” filled 4 camp ovens with succulent goodies. The camp was another “Porkers Event” for the 17 campers.
Plenty of laughs were had around the campfire, so I agree with all written above. I enjoyed the Dry Creek Walk with its wombat holes, view of the Glenelg River, and bush track was very pleasant. Loved the meal and the fruit salad.
Had a great time. Good company, superb food, (Well done Lothar and helpers). Walk was very pleasant and lots of birds was a bonus. Great weekend, everything went well.
A discovery for us Swiss people, we enjoyed everything so much; the company, the cookout, the bush and the cabin. We had such a laugh with Santa Claus.
It was our first time camping (in a cabin), and we thoroughly enjoyed the occasion. The meal was very good, and it was a great occasion to get to know people better.
