Tuesday 8th July.
This mornings program was another trip to the pool where Gail is able to continue her hydrotherapy exercises. She finds that these sessions are doing her good and helping the repair process of her back pain. The afternoon was spent reading in the sun between dozing off. (For me anyway).
We took ourselves out for dinner to the outdoor bistro at the Homestead. Dinner was consumed while listening to the musical entertainment followed by a very impressive whip cracking demonstration by a young fellow called Nathan Griggs. (Look him up on You Tube).
We had early bumped into Nathan at his tent site. We were attracted to this site by his layout of whip making paraphernalia.
We learned that he is from Nymboida near Grafton. He travels Australia as a street performer and also makes whips for sale to support himself from second hand motor inner tubes. He is a most interesting and talented young man.
After his impressive performance he passed around his hat and almost without exception everyone present made some sort of donation.
