Amamoor camping...

So.... We have survived a relatively uneventful, camping experience. Yay!! It was a relaxing and fun getaway with good friends. The best way to go camping. Now, if I could only make the clean up and mountain loads of washing disappear, I'd say it was a brilliant little break... but as it stands, it was still a lovely time. Sadly, if the Traveston Dam project goes ahead, this beautiful National Park and all it's surrounding will most likely go under water...


This camping trip was also Cameron's first time at going away. Not just camping but being away from home and all his comforts. We were quite concerned that he wouldn't settle at night and disturb the peace for other campers. We were wrong in that he wouldn't settle at night. He did a great job. It was just during the day where he didn't want to be parted from me for one moment. LOL!

I didn't take a lot of photos on this trip..(too busy juggling a baby!) but we did manage to go on a bush walk...with 14 kids in tow! Not all of them pictured here!

Some of us slept though it....


While some of us explored...


And we found the time for some swimming on a 33degree Celsius day. Actually, that was a must!

The only downfall (other than packing up and going home..) were the goannas. They are very comfortable with campers and travelling through the campsites without a second glance. They were quite pesky on our last day, breaking into the garbage to scavenge for scraps of food. I didn't want the kids to come out second best in a goanna fight! Especially since some of the goannas were quite large and probably more than capable of taking down a child or two...


Thanks for visiting.

Sounds like everyone had a great time. The scenery looks nice. Sometimes a short breakaway is the best thing and I am sure the kids had a fab time.
Love Mum
