lol, I suppose sharks would be a good deterrent! We have sharks too in New-Brunswick (East coast of Canada), we just didn't know about it until now...Ignorance is bliss growing up we thought all we had to worry about was shore crabs pinching our feet. 😂
Sounds like a nice campsite! I like the luxury of showers and flushing toilets, I tend to stay at those types of places. Spending time at the pool is def fun times, I suppose it doesn't have any sand getting every where...I forgot about that part, didn't stop us any from hangin out there, it was more fun when I was a kid and we could build these huge bonfires.
I wanna go horseback ridding again at some point, expensive tho. With covid it's a bit complicated but my friend lives in the foothills, I wanted to go last time but didn't have time, I used to love it as a kid. I did go on a slay ride in the rockies a couple years ago, that was fun.
I've never been on a sleigh ride...Snow isn't much of a thing here...But I'd like to. Rug up, get some hot chocolate and all...Seems like a nice way to pass some time.
Yeah, Faith generally prefers camps with amenities but also can free camp for a few days at a time. She's not a princess. We love out of the way places so there's no problem with her stripping off and showering in the bush. Our camper is very equipped too, so we're very comfortable. A lot of stations (massive farms) have eco tourism so they often have amenities near camp sites, rudimentary but serviceable. It makes things easy. We stay at one here in my State, north of Adelaide in the Flinders Ranges a lot. Willow Springs is what it's called. Nice spot. All States have excellent camping options though.
I decree that you should go horse riding. Just saying. Now it's official.
Yeah it's pretty fun, it was on New Years day too, wrapped in a warm velvety blanket, the price isn't that bad either, it's a good way to kill time indeed. I didn't think snow was your best feature in Aus! 🤣 I supposed it's like me and beaches at the current moment, I'm a little landlocked. I do want to go to Vancouver soon-ish if this pandemic could end, maybe i can find a beach to ride a horse on over there. hehe
Certainly easier if you have a bit of a trailer, we have nothing but a tent and an air mattress for now (and a giant tarp we turn into a really shitty camping castle in case it rains the entire week to keep our gear dry).
Basic camping is ok too, and I do that when I'm hunting and stuff, but yeah the trailer makes it a lot more enjoyable and easy I guess. I've done posts on my trailer...If I can find one I'll link it if you like?
I bet it makes a world of difference to have that little road abode! We want to get one but we live in a townhouse for now and have nowhere to store it affordably and our neighborhood is shady on a good day so we just don't for now. Go ahead and share it, I'll read just about anything of yours.
Storage of these things is always a bit problematic; We're lucky to have a spot for ours. So, I found a couple posts for you...
This is my swag, what I use when I'm out hunting by myself or with mates. (i.e. no Faith)

Here's my camper trailer.

I think the formatting is a bit buggered up as it's on the other platform, but you'll get the idea.
That's a neat little tent thing. I think I would want something more secure, to me it looks like my basic tent with a few fancy additions. The issue we come across here is wolves and bears, keeping food anything even dishes and cookware/snacks near sleeping quarters is dangerous. I think this would promote complacency. That swag thing looks pretty cool as far as portability.
A swag is not good protection against bears, but then we only have koala bears and they are good to cuddle. A swag is designed for portability, a single person sleeping solution.
