Some camp sites have good views. Some have absolutely insane views, and Sarah and I have been keen to camp somewhere high up for a long time. The thing is though, you’ve got to get it right; the weather has to be suitable with minimal wind, and you have to be confident your kids are…
The Victorian High Country will forever be one of my favourite places in Australia, and it doesn’t take too long for those visiting to realise why. On our second visit to this absolute paradise, we were on the hunt for somewhere to base ourselves to do three well known 4WD tracks in the area, that…
The Victorian High Country is a place that I will never, ever forget. It’s stunning beyond belief, with huge mountains, crystal clear creeks and views that etch themselves into your memory for life. The problem with those huge mountains though, is you have to navigate over, or around them, and if you’re towing anything that…
After another amazing stint in the Victorian High Country, we rolled into Omeo, which is a stunning part of the world. We’d considered staying at the Omeo Caravan Park, and it looked amazing, but after getting quoted $52 a night for our family, we decided to move on, and found another free camp not far…
The Victorian High Country has more camp sites than you could explore in months, and on our second stint there, we were much more relaxed about finding a perfect camp site. So much so, that we called through two other camp sites that were reasonable but not nearly as good as what we’d learnt to…
After a big day in Traralgon, we were keen to head towards the Victorian High Country. We’d had new tyres fitted, filled up with water, done the shopping and a few other bits and pieces, and it was getting on in the day. As usual, Sarah pulled up the goods by picking out The Quarry…
In 18 months on the road, we’ve camped at all sorts of places, ranging from stunning national parks through to bitumen car parks, the occasional caravan park and a number of shire run campgrounds. Our most recent stay was at a place called Meeniyan Reserve, and it’s a beautiful, quiet country town that is surprisingly…
We love a good free camp, and whilst heading down the coastline in the bottom corner of Australia, we stumbled across a fantastic beach camping option called McGaurans Beach. This quietly surprised us, and we spent two nights just hanging around and enjoying the beach. It’s unique in a number of ways, and a truly…
There’s some pretty magic coastal camping near Melbourne if you’re prepared to look around, and we stumbled across a real ripper campground recently, called Bear Gully. It’s small, boutique, right on the coast and very economical. Exactly the sort of camp site we normally prefer! Keen for more camping in Victoria? We’ve got you covered!…
If you are looking for a fantastic camp site between Sydney and Melbourne that isn’t far off the coast, Woods Point is up there with the better options. We’ve had the privilege of camping at more places all over Australia than I can honestly remember these days, and it takes a lot for us to…
Looking for magic, free camping in the Victorian High Country that you can easily get to? Sheepyard Flat is one of the better known camp sites in the high country, and its reputation is well deserved. After a couple of nights camping around Mt Buller, we decided to head in and check it out. In…
Crossing into Victoria from South Australia, I was very unsure about what we’d see, and where we’d go. This was amplified considerably when we pulled out a map of Victoria, and for the first time had very little idea of what to see, where to go and how we should plan our route. Up until…
