Pavlova Paradise and Reflections on a black landscape

ellerslie

Friday evening site rec, absolutely no one else around, how exciting.

Saturday pack in day - Lydia and Amyl collected the truck from Helensville, Kelvin, Michael, Adam and myself carted the elements from the garage up to the top of the drive ready for loading. An exercise in spatial organisation. Lunch, then out to Ellerslie. Unload and then back to Lydias for the cages.
