We headed to Ku-ring-gai national park and the Basin campground - which you get to by getting a ferry from Palm beach - when we were waiting on the wharf, I was starting to get seriously concerned as it was coooooollllldd - even with my ski jacket and Ugg boots on. Thankfully the campground is naturally sheltered so with no wind and the sun, it was actually quite warm - I was even running around bare foot.
After setting up camp - there were twelve of us in total in six tents - five two men doom tents and my small mansion-type tent - a group of boys challenged us to a game of football which was good fun, including one of the boy's mother getting a little too excited about a game against a bunch of slightly tipsy (unfit) thirty-somethings - she was shouting direction from the sideline.
This is me, Jen and her cousin - I felt like a munchkin all weekend!
One of the most entertaining aspects of the campsite was the wildlife - wallabies!!! I was quite blown away by the site of real wildlife hopping amongst the tents although it was slightly less entertaining at night when you could just make out shadows and had to remind yourself what they were.
We manged to keep ourselves warm and entertained with BBQing and roasting marshmallows on the open fire - although this was a "basic" campsite - cold showers anybody? - it still had a good number of gas BBQs included in the site fee.
The next morning as we packed our kit, we were all greatly relieved by the site of this man:
Never mind, the Pope on a Boat, this was even better - coffee on a boat!!! This guy went around all the coves and the yachts and kept them fuelled on caffeine - for quite a fee!!
