Feb 2020, Apollo Bay, Vic A short drive along the Barham River flats behind Apollo Bay brings us to Paradise and a walk through the tree ferns to the river. It’s cool, damp and mossy with ferns growing on more … Continue reading I’ve been to Paradise…
Feb 2020, Apollo Bay, Vic A quiet morning puddle hopping while the rain drizzles, it’s hard to believe it’s February. Is this weather going to improve? We’re all dragging out winter woollies as it feels much colder than the 17 … Continue reading Apollo Bay Seafood Festival
Feb 2020, Apollo Bay, Vic I rise early to capture the sunrise but, we’re still surrounded by fog. Walking on the rock shelf is difficult, the light is so flat that I can’t tell dry rock from rock pools. Yet, … Continue reading A foggy day

Nov 2013, Jamieson, Vic We follow the now wild Goulburn River towards the town of Kevington. Skipworth Reserve is a jaw dropper, one of the best. It’s a large park with shady ash trees and plenty of mown lawn. There are new drop toilets and concrete fireplaces with BBQ plates attached. There is a phone number nailed to a tree for the local wood man who delivers dry firewood, what a good service. The Goulburn River skirts the park and the sound of the rapids and the huge cicadas is both deafening and wondrous. There are about eight other vans … Continue reading Finding Skipworth
The third in a series of however many, romancing the freedom camping lifestyle. If you are curious about freedom camping read on. We had fallen in love with Yamba on a previous trip to Queensland but nearby Woody Head National Park turned out to be heaven, heaven with brush turkeys that is. On a roll we spent a night at Mullumbimby Leagues Club (ticking footy clubs now) and decided that perhaps we wouldn’t buy dinner in the clubhouse. On the positive side, a few weeks later we decided to try our first Pub Stay and were hooked. Tracey welcomed us … Continue reading Freedom with options aplenty #3
