Mummy Monday

 

Waking up before the sun (and children) I ran the pound walk around Orminston Gorge, it was another magical start to the day. It did involve crossing the creek near the end which meant a swim! The water was fresh, I did not expect that I’d need to swim so left my shoes and running kit on and took my backpack off to hold just in case. Then it got deeper and deeper with me needing to swim and hold the pack up to keep the contents dry, I’d never swam with shoes before… quite strange.

I took a slight deviation off the pound walk to climb to the lookout and witness the sunrise. There was a friendly chap that arrived and took a photo with his camera for me and sent it to me later..

We were meant to be out of the camp by 10am, but this did not go exactly to plan… the kids are not the most compliant, in the morning. Leaving a little late meant we were going to need to bust it to Alice in order to meet Prue. Now that I was outvoted big time the kids played Taylor Swift in concert on the ipad whilst connected to the car stereo. I had to practice my patience and compartmentalisation so they could enjoy the gig…

We made it a little late to the airport and it was super awesome to have Prue back in our company.

We were fortunate to have The Earth Sanctuary open for us to stay, due to the connection of Nick and Clare Dry. Clare’s twin sister Annie and husband Tom run the sanctuary and allowed us a secluded patch of land to park up. It was great to settle in the centre of Australia.
