Between houses
So on 5 July we finished packing the car and headed on in the dark and the rain at about 0630. Daylight arrived somewhere after Genoa. I think we were close to Drummer (about 45km) before we saw another car. We each guessed the number of caravans we would see at Cann River. Frances voted for 10, allowing for school holiday travelers while I was influenced - unwisely - by the foul weather and went for 2. The park was well occupied, with Frances estimating about 15 occupied sites.
