Day 17. Possum Park 22.6.25

More pics from the campground. 

I disturbed a big huntsman when I opened the door to the TV room.

Morning Bunker Walk 3.4km Loop

Follow White Rocks around the 20 WWII ammunition bunkers.

1-8 & 10-16 are locked storage bunkers, 9 is an open bunker, 17,19,20 are accommodation, 18 is the park office. Julie and David are the owners of Possum Park.

Pied Currawong.

Some bunkers have been converted into accommodation. 

This little van was made by hand by the church minister who lives in it.

A man proof fence, 19 strands of barbed wire, still standing from the WWII era.

We cooked toasties for lunch on the fire.

Afternoon forest walk,  2.7km loop:

This is the flattest and widest of the fire trails. You may come across some kangaroos and wallabies early in the morning and you will always hear a selection of birds even if they are hard to spot.

You will walk through dry regenerated forest areas and on the edge of open grass plains and close to the windmill and dam.  

Walk through the dry forest and a recently cleared area where you might spot the windmill to the left in the distance. 

Julie, one of the owners, offered to show us through the TAA plane. 

Ensuite.

The plane is only used for family accommodation as they have found it difficult to get insurance for paying guests.

There's a light in the tail which shines through the glass wall of the bathroom and acts as a night light. 

Next we went to see the family igloo. A purpose built bunker look a like set up for 10 people.

We also had a look through some cabins, then sat around the communal fire pit and listened to a few stories.

Dinner was in the camp kitchen, followed by a game of phase 10.

Today's temperatures were 9-22°
