Tomato island

Have arrived at Tomato Island 2.30pm for the nights camp. A popular spot it would seem. It must be good fishing here as there are lots of boats. It's a National Park and cost $15.40 for the night with new amenities.
We had lunch on the side of the road and saw this great mailbox. Might suit mums collections in her garden!

Just left the beautiful Adels grove, where co-indecently we had a drink with Pete Frith and Roger and Di Lyne. Jan was cooking their tea.

Sometimes they can be on the road for months, if not a year or more. These cattle don't look too bad, so it's obviously paying off for them. One cheeky buggar, stopped and thought about taking us on.
