The boys have just had a fun weekend camp in the bush. We took the gear up to the Loch Valley and did an overnighter. First on the agenda was the establishment of a fire. Adam takes this all very seriously believes that huge is good when it comes to fires.
Justin, being the fishing master, gave the boys a lesson in the gentle art of hook baiting,
and it was not long before the lines were in the little stream that ran along side the campsite.
James followed instructions carefully and drifted his hook as Justin had suggested and in a few minutes there was a yell from the stream and James had bagged his first wild trout!
Pat tried a bit of damper roasting on a stick. He was not particularly keen on the end result.
After a very short night, it was bacon and eggs on the open fire for breakfast.
Pat decided to try his luck with the line too. This time there was a surprise result as he pulled in a spectacular (and aggressive) yabbie.
We shared the location with a number of friends from the insect fraternity. Pat's forehead demonstrates that they clearly enjoyed his company even if the feeling was not mutual.
