Going Bush Once More

B & L Excursions returned to Middlebrook Station this past weekend for a few days of bush camping, cooking, quad bike riding and some crazy antics with our hosts (The Hendersons - Hamish 'Hendo', Jackie, Isabella and Georgia), a few new friends (Neil, Leann, Sophie and Torben) and our best mates (Adam, Vanessa, Nick and Maddi).

Within the landscape of a cattle and sheep property, not too far from home, we set up our camp in a clearing amongst the gum trees and built the biggest campfire I've ever seen. S'mores were a big hit with those new to this classic campfire treat, Adam baked a scrumptious damper in the camp oven, we hung a quad bike in a tree just for fun, chased kangaroos, did a little target shooting, endulged in a bottle of pear schnaaps around the inferno and the kids set out on a scavenger hunt one afternoon to collect items like dead ants, roo poo, mushrooms, fencing wire, etc. They had a great time and yes, fun was definitely had by all and we're ready for our next big adventure.

Leann the crack shot!

The Hendersons arrive in their "Woohoo" - notice the matress strapped down on the top with an electrical cord for the fridge. You're a genius 'Hendo' !


Look Ma, we caught us a Quaddie!

Happy Kampers!

Take aim 'Rusty'!

Torben deep in concentration and Adam wondering 'what is that kid aiming at?'

We think camping is cool! Nick, Maddi and Torben
