Walking Mapies and exploring Woodhouse

Today, there was a slow start to the day. Akela was up early, as she always is on Camp. However, she was able to get hot water in the shower today, which was a definite bonus.

 After breakfast, it was time to head out for a walk around Woodhouse and look for some answers that Akela had from a activity in 1996. Some of them weren’t valid anymore (there is no telephone in the phone booth next to the Trading Post for instant. The walk up Cardiac Hill was a challenge and certainly the Joeys were surprised at how much effort was needed to get to the top of the hill. But the view was worth it, as was listening to Akela explain different bits and pieces.

 Back at camp, it was time to start packing up, and watching of the Kookaburra and Magpies walk around the campsite. The magpies decided to check out Akela’s tent and went for a walk through, but the amazement of everyone watching them.

 All too soon, it was to head home. But we hope everyone had a good time and we are hoping Akela will be able to arrange another camp for the Joeys soon. But maybe we need to increase the numbers of the Joey Mob first.
