Victoria Australia Camping Trip - Photos up now!

Hi folks,

Who'd be interested in a camping trip and bonfire night up here in the North East?

I'm thinking the last weekend of July. Make it properly cold, and it's a new moon.

Tents. Possibly on a mates auntie's farm between Wangaratta and myrtleford. If there's enough interest, I'll make the phone call.

Norm, it could be arranged :) I have an inverter and a stash of 150AH SLA batteries. They only weigh 45Kg each.

Re: Victoria Australia Camping Trip

I've teed up a campsite, on a friends property. They've promised to keep all of the scrap wood for me for the bonfire

Check it out here on Google Maps

Can I get some hands up for numbers? I'm happy to supply some snags and beer - but I need to know how much :)

Re: Victoria Australia Camping Trip

I wish you well and hope you have as much of a great time as we did last weekend on our CPF camping trip. Of course we are close to summer and so it's probably a lot warmer here, but with that comes mosquitoes and such. We did get to see fox and turkey, and had two good night hikes. It was great seeing all the 'toys' and all the things people make and mod.

Will it be below freezing at night at this time of year?

One question: you say "up here in the north east", but when I look at the Google map link you gave it looks like the south-east part of the country. Or is that just because I'm upside down compared to you ozzies?

I guess he means NE from his staring point? But yeah, seems like SE as a whole? But hey, their toilets flush weird, so who knows. XD

I'm actually in the north east of Victoria... But yes, the south east of Australia. It will likely be -1 to -3 celcius overnight at that time of year.

Simon count me out.
Too flamin' cold for me this time of year, we are in the caravan in the Blue Mountains and it is only bearable because we have mains power.

That's the one! Let's hope for a few more. I've got firewood from 2 farms coming for one hell of a bonfire.

Wife's bun is due out of the oven any day now, think I'll have to unpack my dress and stay at home now.
