Date Created3rd July 2020CommentsGlenn Johnston - A well built tent camp. A bit of extra corrugated iron put to use at the fireplace end.

Dennis Gibbs - Glenn Johnston, luxury.

Peter Armstrong - They'd call it Glamping now and charge you big bucks.

Noeline McCaughan The Riflemen got in between the tent and the fly and ate the insects that had parked there when they had been drawn to the lamplight the night before. (for those who don't know, Riflemen are tiny little wren-like birds).
