It's now 1.15 and we haven't done much today. It's been lovely! The kids all scattered into the rocks while we sat around the fire, bbqed some steaks for breakfast and put some scones cooking in the camp oven for lunch. At home, the kids all spend too much time in front of screens. They still have screens with them here, one of the perks of the caravan, but surprisingly and reassuringly, they prefer mucking about outside. The girls were using the pocket knife this morning to whittle, and the boys made a snare to trap 'something'.
At the moment, I am on a walk but saw a flat rock and came to lie on it. I've come across cows, goats and a donkey so far. Our camp is on the old Aboriginal reserve, which is attached to the common. It's unbelievable to think of how people were treated not that long ago. In the 60's, the Aboriginals of this land were driven out on trucks to the mission in Brewarrina, never to return.
