Me, my sons and their cuz's all head to far east Vic for a week long camping and fishing. I'll post up a trip report when I get back, but we've booked 5 camp sites in one of the NP reserves.
This is the 10th year we've done this trip and 3 of us have ditched the tents this year and taking CT's instead. There's very limited phone service so all is good.(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/01/18/y6aju4y9.jpg)

Annual family fishing comp at Manns Beach. Been going over 10 years, now named in honour of FIL who sadly passed away 8 years ago and started it. First prize is generally around $400!
Wont be true camping for us though as the CT will be set up in the back yard of the house.
Hopefully weather will allow some fishing this time instead of the crappy weather dealt up around New Years and the week following.
a few Myswaggers down in South Gippy :cheers:

Drink imported beer,
Buy meat from Woolies, imported from China,
Head don to the local park, and watch all the "imported terrorist", play soccer when their wives are dressed as black ninjas, then ask you to move (we were there first) because their playing field isn't big enough,
Cable tie the Australian flag, brought from the local $2 shop, made in China, to the antenna,
Get hassled by the local traffic branch because they have the long weekend quota to fill, to make the commissioner look good,
Get charged exorbitant entry fees to use the local national park,
Sit in traffic, because all the imports haven't learnt to drive in Australia yet,
Yea,........., fk that.
We are staying home and have a BBQ (home made), cooking Meringandan Pub steaks drinking XXXX.

Heading to a Atkinson dam west of brissy for four days..

Just north of Sandy Cape, a few yellow cans and hopefully a couple of fish on the line for dinner.

We're taking the new Camper Trailer on its maiden voyage out to Batemans Bay.
Staying in a Big 4 so we can shake out and see how we go, next to the beach so although I'm sure it will be packed we'll have plenty of fun.
Just trying to finish up the last of the initial mods and properly wire up the 3 way fridge for 12 volt operation while travelling.

It falls in the middle of our annual family camping holiday, and as we have slight accents having moved from other western countries over 20 years ago, we're sick of getting hassled by bogans on "their" day, whilst camping in national parks or free camping, so will retreat to a unit or expensive campsite for the night. Pretty sad really.

looks like a great spot. Fishing?
If we don't get rain it would be considered the best Barra fishing in the area....We stay at the homestead which is great, no one else there and when they were building the Curtain Detention centre they put a few Dnga's on the property which we can stay in. Will get some video etc and post once I get back. I was thinking to maybe look at getting a few swaggers up there over the dry season if they were keen. Not much fishing ten though till the end but some bl00dy big crocs to spy on.
-
With a few other swaggers & members of our local 4wd club we are heading to The Gorge. Should be a cracker of a weekend, 3 nights, a few trails to be traveled and a few :cheers:, only few mind you.

Heading to the Rubicon area with another couple - kid free weekend!
If you go through alex (not sure where you are coming from and the route you are taking), and you see a nice grey offroad trailer forsale, stop and BUY it.
Thats if I feel well enough to go and finish it off.

may be a little busy, but nothing like Rosebud Foreshore. My main suggestion is bypass the campsites near the road as you'll get covered in dust. Also the further you head in, the more likely to get a better spot.

At this stage it looks like it will be out the front, did lights yesterday, painted it another coat the other day, just got a few minor things to do today and it should be ready.
Big tool box on the front is free, which I have to refit after painting.

Yep. Opened march last year

One place I will NOT be going is Kendalls at Rubicon. Far out, the place is packed, dogs, kids and lunatics.
You would have more personal space camping in the Chadstone shopping centre car park.
