Blue Mountains
We arrived in the Blue Mountains and it was raining, properly with lightning and thunder. It was a little dissapointing thinking that we had left the Grampians early because it was raining and now its raining here. We pitched camp anyway and when we woke up in the morning it was dry, sweet. The campsite is really cool, its 5 minute walking distance from 3 different crags!! A climber dream, and I really was awake, even though I probably didn't look like it. We missed all our pets from the Grampians, there were none around, not even a possum, just lots of birds that sound like little dogs barking.
Second morning in the Blue Mountains and Julie Ann told me we had another pet, a real one with four legs and waggy tail of the barking kind, thanks to Clara I thought she was being sarcastic at first, Clara I think you've confused me for life ;) Then a little Jack Russel came running out of the trees. Jules had found him on the kitchen table, we've taken over the campsite, there is a picnic table with 3 walls and a roof made of corigated iron, just like a big bus shelter and it has become our kitchen. Jules saw this Jack Russel up on the table looking for scraps and told it to get down, so it did and he followed us around for about a week. We called him Shiver because he didn't stop shiverring for the first 2 days.
It was really cool having our own dog, we even got dog food and a proper dog bed for Shiver, a local shopping centre was throwing them out. We asked a few locals if they recognised the him, with no luck, so after a week we took him to the local vet and they found he had been chip, so they could scan him for us and return him to his owners. Neal is really going to miss Shiver, shiver slept in the front seat of the car with him and woke him up with a waggy tail every morning.
Don't worry, we have another pet, Hunch, a huntsman spider, who lives in the bus shelter and dissapeared when Shiver arrived. We thought Shiver ate him, but he's come back out again so that we don't feel too lonely.
