Title: Is anyone camping atm?
Post by: scrapsD40 on October 14, 2016, 06:28:26 PM
Haven't had the CT out since May, and weather down here just isn't playing nice this year. Hoping November/December brings a change. You?

If anyone has anything planned in or around North East Vic make sure you take the Aeroguard. Mossies are in plague proportions already especially around water. Went to look at a full Lake Hume yesterday arvo and got attacked as soon as I left the car and we had friends go to our block a week ago motorbike riding and they got eaten alive too. So Avagoodweekend ! Bushmans is probably better.

with more rain forecast for the state, I don't see camping being in the limelight anytime soon..

Driving round Murray Sunset/Wyperfield few weeks back was way beyond saturated.. the water was going nowhere.

this went off into the distance a long way around that corner..

We're too old an senile to remember to pack a bowl.
Besides it took us years to properly train our own.
However sounds like your group camping trips are interesting...

Just back today from 4 x days at Warroora Station with all the crowds gone (we had Sandy point to ourselves!),   NO WIND!, & the fishing provided well with a 60+ centimeter spangled emporer each/every day! Not often the planets lie up as good as this.

True, but I took the chance to tow the new (to me) van to the camp ground at the RACV Resort at  Inverloch. I know ..... it's not really camping.

Just back from Corner Country. Had a great time, but like a lot of country around there, very wet with a lot of roads shut. Mossies have really bred up with all the still water, and flies are showing a presence as well. Still love it up there though.

Yes it was an interesting weekend lol ?

Was about 100 of us and I was the last standing and was resorted ton drinking in front of an electric heater, as someone booked a "No fires allowed" place :(

Then 0700 the next morning I get a call from a HA mate asking for a chop out.

Too many flies here at the moment with the good winter rain we've had. Might swag it at a few dams later on but other than that, the flies will be keeping us quiet

Just finishing our first trip in our new Camel Beachcomber, went from Brisbane to Carmilla for an overnighter, to Hydeaway Bay (near Airlie Beach) for three nights, to Notch point for three nights, to Stanage for two nights then here to Seventeen Seventy for two nights. Time to pack up today, there must be a Camper Trailer curse or something as it didn't rain a drop for ten days then last night 8mm in an hour.....Grrrr our first wet packup.
