Sounds good Bernie. We must start investigating these nice spots that are so close to us. It always seems too much effort to pack everything for a short trip so I need to make a mental shift. Mingo was a good start.
Enjoy the time with the kids.

Read several posts on a couple of other forums re making sure you lock your property up at Elliot Heads CP, maybe the culprits have departed.
There use to be sand flies there when we lived at Bargara, certainly top spot. We spent many days camped down on Coonarr Beach, south of Elliot Heads back in 1973 only road to the beach was 4x4, there use to be several very well set up fishing shacks along the beach.

Errr...
‘Stickybeak’ is the name we’ve given to one of Maggie’s babies from this crop.
And out Magpie family seems to have grown...
We thought she had only two babies last year.
We’re now feeding SIX!
Maggie & Shybird, Junior from 2017’s nesting, Stickybeak from last year’s nesting, and another chick which may be Maggie’s or a ring-in abandoned by some other Magpie mother.
Sorry to hijack the thread...
Normal transmissions will now resume...

Finely chopped grain bread.
We were told this was strictly veboten.
Tried them on minced meat... they turned up their beaks & refused to eat it!
So we went back to the grain bread.
They now wait on the barrel where we feed them, eagerly anticipating the arrival of chow time.
Maggie is now so used to us that she stays on the barrel while we place the bread in the feeding saucer. I reckon she’d probably allow me to pat her... but I don’t want to domesticate her to the point of dependence.
