We travelled past huge cliffs around a bend that was obviously Big Bend, but Denise's GPS showed the town as being further on, so we kept going. After we had been going for quite a while, we realized we must have missed it. We called the Big Bend by Night people, and found that we were well past our destination. We did an abrupt about turn and went full steam ahead into the gathering dusk. It was quite dark by the time we arrived, but our host was on the riverbank with a torch to guide us in.
Thank goodness we did make it, as the meal and spotlight tour were a real highlight. We had beer-can chicken after having a look at the Ozzie animals, an emu, a wombat and of course a kangaroo. The emu loved the attention it received.
We were taught how to crack a whip. I was told I was a natural at it. Steph was keen to have a go and managed the more complicated maneuvers.
After our main course we had dumplings with quandom sauce. Some of the team were a little disconcerted to be asked, "Would you like cream with your quandom?"
There is a place to comment below people. Not sure if you need to be logged in or anything, but it would be great to know that people were reading this.
