Monuments & Guards

[CINDERS]

Camp night at a small place called Watheroo (Wath - er - roo) it was packed as it is wildflower season in our state right now.
So all the sites were full at the pub but no probs we went up one end of the car park and set up there.
Of note in the night pic the tree on the left had a bull ants nest my wife (in pic) was not to worried about them although I don't think she has been bitten by one I have!
Our bullant can deliver a very nasty bite and sting and swarm attack when disturbed, they will chase you and can jump!
(The lump on the back of my hand from ones sting took 3 months to go down.)
We left them alone as one friend suggested because 2 of us were going to give them a dose of diesel but in fairness live and let live none of us were bitten but had a few close squeeks.

The DARCHE camper we have on the back of our 4 x 4, these are the top of the line as the Kings brand can at times have condensation issues.
Ours has the fly but the added feature of folding the cab end fly back and unzipping the top cover for a sky light for the stars, the window hoods are down in the pic as we were packing up got the billy on but. (Held open by 2 flexible rods usually)
The windows also have an internal stormy weather sheet that can be closed on the inside of the bug mesh along with the windows outer cover dogged down.
Entry has a storm cover and storm flap as well the mesh on all openings is of a size that even midges cannot get through it, I have installed 2 x 1m LED light strips in there for night reading.
Takes about 10 minutes to set up and about 15 to pack up with 2 people it is mounted flush with the roof line so as not to get up in the airflow plus keeps the CG low but the ute still rolls a little more than standard.

Anyone in West Au going to Watheroo I highly recommend their food was bloody scrumptious they have powered sites/share ablutions and self contained units as well.
