Well a lovely Christmas party was had by all at Hopetoun on the weekend. The wind could have stayed away but at least the sun was shining and quite a few were sporting some bright red sunburn, ouch. The lakeside park is a gorgeous spot with powered sites one side and freecamp the other. As the boss was paying for everything we had a powered site and a great time. The spit roast pork, beef & lamb were cooked to perfection, salads very yummy and a mountain of drinks for every taste. A big thanks to all the hard work behind the scene to organise a great time.
As you can see it is a beautiful spot and great for fishing, yabbying and water skiing.
Everyone starting to arrive and plenty of boats in tow.
The bird life were very used to people and this Noisy Miner didn’t take long to find something to eat.
Bethany spent ages cruising round in the V8 speedboat having a great time helping the skiers. The faster the better as far as she was concerned.
After others had their turn she decided to give it a go. At least she had fun trying but didn’t manage to get up on the skis. I forgot the camera at the time so was reduced to using her phone camera lol. Of course she had it set on the lowest quality.
Half of the group rocked up the next morning ready for a lovely hot breakfast of bacon & eggs. The rest crawled out some time later looking very seedy and tired. I hope they pick the same spot for next year, it was a great time.
