Drumming, Markets & Campdrafting

Anzac Day:  We popped into Mark and Kate's place to give them a hand with some steps / rabbit palace and rock shifting.  Then we had a camp at Corindi Beach down the highway.  Danny tried his luck fishing on the beach and we had our first real camp in the back of Harry Transit.  Comfortable, but the caravan park lighting was a bit bright.
Next day, we went off to Wooli for some more fishing.  You could see the brim in the clear river water...but they could also see us!  So no catchee.

April 27, 28: That weekend, we went to Tim's Rest for a drumming workshop.  Well, not to drum but to do some filming.  There was a jam session with some musicians from Byron and Barcelona and the next day a performance of the drumming routine they had been learning for 3 days.  Indigo and Fuggles especially liked the drumming ladies who gave them plenty of loving.

The Spanish fellow ( Contini? ) played the didge down by the dam for us.  He was good and the sounds echoed through Tim's property.

First half of May: 
We got stuck into Tafe work and finished filming for our News Stories.  We did some of our usual favourite things ie going to the Thai Restaurant in town and the Jam Night at the Naked Bean Cafe in South Grafton. 



We finally managed to catch a market at the Cathedral Fair.  Bit pricey to sell at $25 a stall, but we still managed to make some money on the trinkets we have been carrying around in Keith since we left Redcliffe last year.  And Danny met up with a bottle guy, Simon who knows all the ones we know in Qld.

We also have been going to the local Redmen Rugby games up the road from the caravan park.  You can sit on the hill with the dogs, have a beer and enjoy the countryside.
Next to it, is the horse grounds and last weekend, there was a Camp Draft on.  Having never been to one (and not really knowing what it was)
off we went with our camera for a look.  It was great and the riders really skillful in their attempts to herd the little bull around the guide posts. 
Autumn is definately in the air and so is a new plan for our future.  
But you will have to wait for the next blog to see if it all comes to pass.
