School Holidays

I took my daughter to Broken Heads caravan park for part of the school holidays, it was a ideal opportunity to try out our new camper trailer. We never checked the weather forecasts and we pick a week that it hadn't stopped raining continuously, when we got there it was just raining a little so we decided to put the tent up, half way through the sky opened and it bucketed down, and didn't stop till the following morning. Guess what.. We found out...It leaks, yep canvas is only waterproof to a certain level...then i just leaks, Sandy went on the rescue mission to Byron Bay to seek out a tarp and poles at 4.30pm. When Sandy got back it was dark and coming down by the bucket full. We got absolutely soaked getting the tarp on, but once it was up things started to look better.

Do you know what it sounds like in a monsoon in a tent.. Its something i couldn't sleep through, Ruby snored all night and i Sandy got a bit of sleep, but the tent never leaked

The next day wasn't that much better but we did manage to get out to the beach for a swim and a walk in between showers. That evening we went into the hills above Lismore to meet an old friend and have some dinner, was great to catch up and we had a really nice evening. When it was fine i did pull the camera out and take a few images.















But Dad...its 6am and raining and i don't want to go for a walk
