Episode 1, Monday 18 June, 2001

Plane trip is quite short, food acceptable. Most of us are getting off at Connellan Airport. I go looking for the free shuttle, and ask a man loading luggage into a bus if he is the transfer. He says "No, I'm Jamie. But I am driving the shuttle bus." He ends up taking ten of us, two to an expensive hotel, me to the campground and the rest to a motel-like place that I later discover has a noisy and lively semi-outdoor pub. The campground girl tells me to camp anywhere in Section 1 to be near my friends' cabin when they arrive tomorrow. Section 1 is very full, and gets fuller as the day goes, because it's the only one open (she didn't say that). I am in a block of 12 sites, 3x4, on lawn kept mowed by rabbits. And fertilised.
