Camping at Ross River

Camping Ross River

Our first camping adventure. We opted for one night away to test all the gear. Ross River Resort is a great little spot about an hour east of Alice Springs. Since Fred has joined Mom here now, we had to take two cars. With all the equipment, people, and food, there was no car space to spare. On the way out, we made stops at a couple of the gaps, gorges, and rocks that are on the list (where the list came from I don't know) to be seen.

Once there and set up, we roasted marshmallows and sat around the campfire telling stories. Well, technically, I fell asleep with the kids around 7:30ish (long day) and spent a few minutes by the fire with Jason later in the evening when I had to get up to pee (luckily the facilities were clean). Jason decided to sleep by the campfire but came stumbling back into the tent around 3 in the morning complaining that the "dingo's won't leave me alone". Sure enough, in the morning we found one of his shoes beside the fire and the resident dingo (who comes rummaging for food) carried the other one off. Luckily it wasn't so far off that we couldn't find it.
