Camping

Last weekend was a "long weekend" in NSW because of Labour Day. Some of our friends went camping in Yarramalong, about 1,5 hrs north of Sydney, and asked us to join in. Because we had some other things to do we couldn't make it until Sunday. The weather didn't look too good be we thought it would be good to take the car out for a drive an anyway.

The campsite was on a private property so it didn't have (m)any facilities. Our friends had put up a very big tent and brought all the facilities with them. Unfortunately the area was infested with leeches so you really had to watch our feet all the time, since they crawled up your shoes. A lot of them tried but no leeches made it far enough to get us. Some of the other guys had chopped a lot of firewood and that way we could close off the evening with a big campfire. After midnight the weather really turned bad with lots of rain and thunder. The tent managed to stay upright and dry, but the sound didn't allow for much sleep.

but silly looking solution against the leeches.
