Camping In the Macallister Gorge, West Gippsland


This is our campsite we sussed out, what a great spot and not a soul around. Loved it.


N & E had fun testing out there new rods Danny bought them. Had fun untangling them too...



Noah being a productive young chap. There is only so much wood you can chop with a blunt axe, but that wasn't going to stop him.



OH this goanna was soooo cheeky, he actually climbed into the back of the car when we were down swimming and ate all the fruit cake and kicked everything out of the boot and even climbed over into Charlie's car seat...very friendly goannas in these parts.



How much did Charlie looooooooooooe the water, we found a nice little spot in the rapids, he was mesmerised by the rushing water, he almost fell asleep in the water.


The view from Mt. Useful, you could just about reach out and grab the clouds from here, it was very beautiful. We had a chat with the guy on watch in the fire watch tower, he even offered us to climb up, but I valued our lives too much...very high skinny ladder and a looooooooooong way to fall, would have been good though.




We came to a track which we had to drive along the river bed, it was great, and very beautiful the kids and I wanted to walk it, it was great. Danny had lots of fun too. Man I'm good at picking tracks, note that there is no photos of the exit of this river and for very good reason, one need twos hand to covers both of one eyes when you are driving up a near vertical slope...I was mostly brave, braver than usual, after all I did pick the track.


Pit stop.

Going in.

It got a bit rough for Charlie, so we had to strap him in, lucky I brought my head band...
