Day 115

Happy Birthday Graham.

Well we were out of phone range today, but every now and then we must have got signal as Graham got quite a few messages wishing him a happy birthday.  Thanks to everyone that remembered and we will catch up in the next day or so.   I had kept the cards that the family had sent to him so he had a few cards to open.

He got quite a few scratchies from Shaz, Day, Emma and Corey and spent about 15 minutes scratching them, out of about 12 he won $3.  Kept him quiet for a while though.  Catherine, Craig and the girls sent him a pen with his name on.

Chloe also sent Grandad some wine gums for his birthday.  Yes Chloe, I kept them for him and he opened them today – needless to say he had a couple before breakfast.

We drove from Bea Bea Creek to a spot that we had been told was really good – Albert Tognolini Lookout  (581 camps 6).  We got here at about 11-30 am and it is really beautiful.  We set up camp where we can look out onto the ranges and had a very quiet day reading our books.  The flies here are incredible and it is once again windy.

The scenery today was incredible – one minute we were driving through flat arid land and the next through beautiful mountain ranges – part of the Mungaroona Range.
