[ RESORT REVIEW ] STORMS RIVER MOUTH REST CAMP, WC

- Nick Yell
Calm In The Storm

I saw them across the slipway, looking intently into each other’s eyes. Wanting to steal a shot of the Storms River Mouth with them in the foreground. I skirted around the slipway and surreptitiously slipped my long lens on in midst ride. Just as I was lining up the shot, the man looked straight at me and started to walk over to where I was standing. I’d been busted!

‘Excuse me, would you mind taking a photograph of us… I’ve just proposed to my girlfriend?’ said the young man whom I’d thought was going to remonstrate with me about his privacy.

After a full down-on-his-knees reenactment of the earlier proposal, I learned that Alroy had driven Charné all the way from PE for the proposal.

My introduction to Storms River Mouth Rest Camp had been somewhat less romantic. With a new entrance gate under construction there was a long traffic jam of cars getting into the park, and when I finally made it in, a gravel-road detour without any signage to Reception had me drive all the way down to the restaurant looking for where I should book in.
