Arrived safely after a beautiful drive up the Sunraysia Highway. Memories flooded back from over thirty years ago when twice I have travelled this same highway. Once with my old Merc 220SE driving my one-time fiancée up to meet her mother, and once more on my Kawasaki motorcycle to partake in another sort of retreat, this time a mad bikers's campaway at Trentham. The difference between these two adventures and this weekend are so marked it beggars description.
The weather is perfect at Camp Seed and the thirty odd members of Eckankar are coming from many parts of Australia but I am the only member from 'overseas'. We get together for a first meal of 'spag bol' and it reminds me I ought to make this a vegetarian weekend if possible.
Arash (the Archer) and his wife Rahi who is making the first fire of the retreat. There are twelve beautiful Iranians on this camp!
