Well it was a tad cold last night at Bombola dropping to around about -4 felt like -6. We didn't really feel it too much till we woke up and had to pack up and move to Buckenderra. Went to turn the tap on only to discover the hoses were frozen solid. It was crunchy to step outside with all the frost as well.

So after a chat with another bloke decided to poor hot water over the connections to get them off the taps, then drag them out to the road to try and defrost them. After a little while we hooked the hose up to the tap and tried to run the water through, but no luck. After crunching the hose a bit to break up the ice we eventually got ice out.

My hands were freezing even with gloves on dealing with wet stuff, getting the hoses running and the drain hoses stayed blocked till we got here.
Well we set up and that was easy stuff. Lizzy has spent the whole day on the phone or texting with our boy and a nephew flying around the country and world, children calling about car issues, cooking advice, Judy B in hospital with heart operation, Gramps with skin rash issue, wow flat out today with all sorts of stuff.

We ventured up to the the kiosk here so I can find out about .. you guessed it fishing. Needed some advice and gear to trout fish here at the lake. So got me some advice and a bit of gear to give it a shot shortly.

| Our spot for a couple of weeks |
We are the hunt here for wombats, echidnas and other wild life. Lots of scat at our campsite.
We're hoping to venture into the snow fields shortly. I wanna try snowboarding so will find out the details tomorrow. Been skiing before not snowboarding so gotta do it now before I get any older and senile. Also looking at a horse ride up in the Snowies - that sounds great!! Thredbo.
On the way here we saw some cool sights. The huge wind farm along a few ridges was interesting to see. They are massive and very quite. Lizzy said they were pretty, I said pretty interesting.
Then in the distance we spotted the snow covered mountains pop out of nowhere. That was a really cool sight. The country here is sheep farms with the odd cow and horse. Saw some little lambies as well.
Till next time .... Rob & Liz
