RE: IS IT COLD AT YOUR PLACE

Hidden Valley is quite small and can get a bit squeezy, but its clean and well maintained and well grassed. When we here 2 years ago the owners did things like organise walking groups and have evening talks from people like a crocodile farm and a buffalo hunter, but ariving today there doesn't seem to be anything like that being advertised. We'll check it out tomorrow. We're considering moving to Lee Point, but have heard the midges are bad there.....

We have stayed there in '06, '08, '10 and there were a few but I didn't get eaten. It was the beach at the end of the road that got me. smile

My other half stayed at Hidden Valley once and had to move on after a day because of the midgies so I guess maybe they move around a bit mate. smile

We stayed at the Free Spirit but it was squishy and over priced, even worse this year from what I have seen.

Go for a drive and check it out anyway, there are some nice spots under the trees if you can snig one. wink

Oh just a point, ask not to be put where the tour busses camp. They bring schoolies in from time to time and it gets a bit hectic if you are too near them biggrin

I'm confronting the first winter since 1996, and I'm not coping, and it's not even winter yet.
The aircon is on worm cycle, the winter clothes has come out of storage under the bed, and I'm wearing sox and shoes. It takes ages to decide what to wear and then get dressed in all those layers. Hopefully I'll get more jobs north.
