And the rain came tumbling down....

When we went to Piction it rained and rained and rained.

Our brand new awning leaked down every seam.

Luckily we had taken a real bed

because we paddled across the awning, shook the water off our feet

and climbed into bed. I'm not exaggerating. It's a true story.

Over night the wee quiet stream became a raging torrent.

I think it rose about a metre over the four days and nights it rained.

It was majestic and awesome.

It's not too bad when it rains, you get to stay in the caravan and play games.

The only downside is going to the toilet and collecting drinking water from the tap.

I'm not sure I could do it for six months like Kate and her amazing family.

Alexander Holiday park is pretty low budget

but it is real camping. I love it.

Especially these back sites set in the bush looking at the mountains. Amazing.
