I thought I'd take you on a pictorial tour of our spur-of-the-moment pre-Christmas escape! A friend discovered a fabulous camping ground in the St Arnaud Range State Park - so well set up with cleared areas and small, well-constructed campfire alcoves.
And that luxury of luxuries - flushing toilets!

Ye Olde Fence... don't you wonder how old this is and about the craftsman who made it? |

Can't help it - old fences bring out the urge to be creative! Love the lichen and the weathered grey wood and the hole for the rail... |
