Easter Camping 2011

Following our camp last year at our friends ray and Kylie's Dad farm, we were invited to go again this year.

We were a little more prepared than last year, as last year we had begged and borrowed the majority of our camping equipment.

We loaded up the trailer and set off for the farm with  a little "pewee 50" motorbike on the front.
We quickly set up camp and waited for the others to arrive having a well earned beer to celebrate.

Three other couples were with us and we set up not far away from a huge camp fire, kindly made from Bruce the owners felled dead trees.

We had a wonderful time at the farm again this year. The kids swam and played in the creek, they we driven around the 600 acres in the 4x4 Ute and ray and myself rode the pewee and a 200cc dirtbike with the kids on board.

We had a comunial cook up for Easter Sunday Lunch. The adults cooked Beef and Pork in the camp ovens placed in the hot coals of the campfire and the kids made Damper bread which came out beautifully.

I went for a Kayak trip from Bellbrook abot 18 kilometers downstream through rapids and some wonderful countryside. It was absolutley fantastic, the river was really wide and fast flowing and I only wish I could have phographed how amazing the vista was.

We went for a two hour 4x4 drive through the local fire trails and picniced half way where the kids climed and streched their legs.

We hope we are invited again next year to enjoy another wonderful Easter get away.

  3. Hi there

    I have just started a blog about our possible move to Sydney in the hope that we can connect with other people who have gone through similar experiences. Please take a look at my blog and I hope that you can follow it too so that maybe we can exchange views and experiences to help us decide if we really should take the leap half way across the world...

    Looking forward to chatting to you soon.

    Thanks
