An early start this morning as we had to be at the caretakers van by 9.15. Jumped in the back of a truck and sat on hay bales for the drive up to the homestead. The homestead is built in the Queenslander style. I don't have much information about it as there was no information given about it for you to keep. The present owner wanted to restore the homestead, set up the wetlands camping area and run cattle on the property. Unfortunately her husband died in a helicopter accident and her debt makes it impossible for her to stay on so the property is up for sale. We had a look around the old homestead and was given lots of verbal history of the place. Probably too much information all at once to absorb. Morning tea was also supplied. It was a very enjoyable tour and worth the $10 fee each. The homestead was lovely but would need more than a million spent on it to restore it. Ian walked back to the campground while I returned on the back of the truck. We chatted to a couple who had just arrived that day and then it was back to the van for a late lunch. Once again did nothing until it was time to poach ourselves in the hot pool.
