Caring for Country: Restoring the Land and Cultural Understanding workshop

The following images were taken during our last workshop trip.


Joan was in-charge on the driving and Jill (front passenger)

First stop at Tailembend, re-fuel and had a break for a coffee then hit the road again. Second stop, Meningie on time for our lunch break, without realizing that I forgotten this delicious platters that I bought the day before (cursing myself for an hour), the funny thing was when i did the food shopping for this trip I ordered the platters the day before and arrived back home, realized I forgotten the platters, went back to the shop and the shop lady forgotten it too, so we wait till she finished preparing it. So, this delicious platter wasn't meant to be eaten for our trip and I think we meant to purchase our lunch at the Meningie Bakery, we made the owner happy though by buying our lunch in the bakery.

If you are thinking going to Meningie in South Australia don't forget to stop by at Meningie bakery.


Third stop at Camp Coorong, meeting Uncle Neville and introducing Jill to everybody.


At last we arrived at our destination at the Coorong Wilderness Lodge at Hacks Point, South Australia and we were greeted with this panoramic view of the peninsula.


Our first night camping


Our surprises just starting we had a surprise visit from Uncle Neville.

I will post some of the images later on, so keep visiting the CBRP blog.
