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!…

The Victorian High Country has a big reputation, and it still completely and utterly blew my mind on so many occasions. It didn’t take more than a couple of days to realise that the Victorian High Country is a place well beyond special. What I expected of the place was blown out of the water…

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…
Seasonal fire bans are something that we’ve grown up with, and the feeling of packing away your camp cooking gear as November rolls in is the norm for us.
