There’s a couple of places in the Victorian High Country that have massive reputations, and Paradise Valley is one of them. It looks stunning in the photos, and has a fairly significant price tag to go with it. Normally this would turn us off, but we decided to book in for a night and see…
In Australia there’s a large number of pubs that let you camp out the back for free, which is pretty awesome. Of course, the unwritten rule is that you go and buy some drinks, or have a meal, which is more than fair, and we’ve made use of this on a couple of occasions. Our…
After banging our way down the final 50 metres of the Telecom 4WD Track in Walhalla, and arriving (with great surprise) right in the car park of the Long Tunnel Extended Gold Mine, I decided it was probably worth doing the tour. We were an hour early, but we’d talked about doing it, and it…
When a really good mate of mine suggested we should head to Walhalla in the Victorian High Country, I locked it in, and after driving down Walhalla Road (except the last part that is closed to vehicles over 3 tonnes), we set up camp at Coopers Creek Campground. As we got close to Walhalla I…
After deciding to head to Walhalla to have a look around, we had two choices of campgrounds that appealed to us; Bruntons Bridge Campground, and Coopers Creek. We ended up at Coopers Creek Campground because it was quiet enough, beautiful and easy to get to, but we headed out to Bruntons Bridge Campground the next…
Rolling into Woods Point, we were completely and utterly shocked at the town. It’s the most beautiful little settlement we’ve ever seen, and it feels like you’ve just stepped back in time a hundred years. Having never explored much of the Victorian High Country before, we were not expecting Woods Point, but set about finding…
The High Country Camping has exceeded our expectations a hundred times over, and there’s been more than a few places that have proven this. Pulling onto Walhalla Road, I knew the region was going to be good, and when we arrived at Coopers Creek Campground, I was absolutely shocked at how beautiful it is. Where…
On the day we departed from Woods Point in the High Country, I was a bit apprehensive about what we’d find on Walhalla Road, especially as we were towing our hybrid camper trailer. I’d read that the road was OK, but you never know until you go, and after making the climb up to Matlock…
There’s more amazing free camps in the Victorian High Country than you can poke a stick at, and on a number of occasions I felt dizzy trying to find our next destination. We’d decided to leave from Jack Scotts Campground near Woods Point, and head down to Walhalla, and Merringtons Campground had a good reputation….
The Victorian High Country has some of the bets camping in Australia, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Jack Scotts Campground. After a fairly long drive from Big River State Forest, we rolled into Woods Point and were blown away by how small, unique and beautiful it is. We had two campgrounds in mind,…
After travelling half way across the country, we were pretty excited to head into the Victorian High Country and find some amazing campgrounds, and great 4WD tracks. Our first real day off-road was doing some of the Mt Terrible 4WD tracks, and we had an absolute ball. Where is Mt Terrible? Mt Terrible is only…
There are places in Victoria that have wowed us on so many occasions, and the Rubicon and Cathedral Range 4WD tracks are another perfect example of this. We were trying to dodge the long weekend traffic in March, and after two nights on a Caravan Overnight Farmstay, decided to head off on the Monday public…
