Day 195 Sunday, February 13th. A visit to an Australian country town-sleeping with a Huntsman spider.
We take a 4 ½ hr. train ride down to Berry- a country town South of Sydney and stay with a work colleague of mine and his family on their 25 acre farm. Chris, his wife Lioni and their two daughters (Aisha, 7 and Amelia, 4) have terrific veranda views across the rolling countryside to the ocean.
Our separate studio/bedroom is occupied by a, 5” toe to toe” Huntsman spider and he’s on the wall just above Christine’s pillow when we go to turn in. His name doesn’t help and it’s the biggest spider I have ever seen.
The next day’s breakfast on the veranda includes being able to watch the kangaroos and kookaburras in the next field.
