Mungo Brush, Myall Lakes National Park: That Dingo got my baby shoe

November 15th, 2008

Rob in the SandIt was a restless night due to the heat and the mossies that would not stop buzzing around our heads. Clare found a mobile phone next to our campsite, left by a weird lady seen lying next to our van late in the evening. We haven’t worked that one out yet, as she picked up the phone in the morning, blaming the dingoes for taking it.

We had another cooked breakfast and started the day in slow motion. It is that sort of a place. There was drizzling rain for most of the day, which has been the case every second day now for about two weeks. We took a delightful walk for an hour through the neighbouring rainforest and to the beach.

This location is great, but not overly peaceful due to the water-ski and jet ski action on the lake. The sun came out in the afternoon, and we were able to go for a swim, or some might say a bath. Late in the day we realized that a dingo had taken a pair of Olive’s sneakers - at least it was only her sneakers. We finished the day with a delightful walk along the beach.
