Marlo

After the last of the Easter Services we drove to Marlo to camp with friends who were already there. It's long drive from here 3 and a half hours, but for some reason I found it alright. Maybe it was the vitamin b that I took just before we left. I know this may sound a bit odd, but years ago I took a vitamin b in the evening and then couldn't sleep and when I mentioned it to a doctor friend she said yes vitamin b will do that. I enjoyed drinking in the scenery. In Marlo we settled in with our friends. We arrived not long before dinner, which was meat spit roasted over coals and vegetables roasted in a camp oven. By the time we'd finished eating it was dark and we were sitting around the campfire enjoying the ebb and flow of the conversation. 
The activity and inactivity of the next two days was walking, reading, eating, going to Cape Conran, walking to the pub for a drink as the sunset disappointingly over Snowy. and talking.
Then there was the packing up. The last coffee with most of the camping party before they headed off. Those of us who tarried a bit longer went for picnic lunch in the bush at some falls that were disappointingly dry.
We drove homeward.
