Camp #2 – 2025; Straya Day (Part 2)
Posted on 12 February 2025 by

You know you’re onto a good thing when it’s so relaxed and chilled that you don’t care to get out of bed. Waking up to a cracker of a day, nothing beats it and the sleep in was well worth it with the amazing view from my doorstep… The night was cool with temps dropping…



Camp #2 – 2025; Straya Day (Part 1)
Posted on 4 February 2025 by

It’s Friyay 24th January and work is done and dusted, the boot scoot to Goulburn commences to meet Brad for a quick feed and then off for the second leg of the journey to Denison Campground in the Snowy Mountains. In all honesty, and you can judge for yourself – the burgers are better at…



Camp #1 – 2025; WTF happened to 2024?
Posted on 12 January 2025 by

And just like that I’ve skipped almost all of 2024 and a major chunk of the tail end of 2023. So what happened? Truth be known I just got lazy 🙁 Let’s make up for it in 2025 and I’ll in time backdate history. In my mind the first camp of 2025 was going to…



Days 4 & 5; Geehi to Tom Groggin
Posted on 12 November 2024 by

The trip out of Geehi to Tom Groggin campground is what could be classed as a typical Snowy Mountains fanfare consisting of rolling hills, more rolling hills, S bends galore and plenty of greenery typically consisting of gum trees, tussock and weeds. Depending on how many stops for photos and nature breaks it takes the…



Days 2 & 3; Tumut to Geehi
Posted on 10 November 2024 by

Packed and ready to go, the trip from Tumut was uneventful winding along through Batlow, Tumbarumba, Khancoban and eventually Geehi. The decision to bypass Geehi Flats Campground and go straight to Behrs Flat was a welcome one. Behrs Flat feels like you are camped within a postcard! While Brad set up camp, I sat back…



Day #1; Sydney to Tumut
Posted on 8 November 2024 by

Fridge packed with the essentials ✔ First stop Goulburn for lunch ✔ Arrive at Riverglade Tumut and set up camp ✔ Quick and easy dinner ✔ Crack a cold one ✔ Light fire and kick back waiting for Brad ✔ Watch Brad take stress break with acquaintances ✔ And that was day one, a day…



Behold the longing to post again…
Posted on 18 October 2024 by

It has been a while, precisely 403 days – if I’d left this another day it would coincidently equate to a 404 and I don’t really want that 😐 Much has happened since the last post, many camps have been and gone, the Hilux has undergone much change, I’ve become another year older, my love…



Camp #10 – 2023; We’ve hit double digits!
Posted on 11 September 2023 by

A return to old trusty, Hill End on camp number 10 for 2023. It has been a big year for camping and there is nothing better than getting out there with nature. TBH it’s been a blessing in disguise travelling so often for work, there has been many a weekend where it’s just a little…



Camp #09 – 2023; One to tick off the list
Posted on 2 September 2023 by

I’ve been travelling a bit for work lately, it has its benefits. I was stationed at Orange NSW for two weeks and there’s no guessing what I did during the weekend in between (18th & 19th August). Ophir is a place I’ve wanted to visit for quite a number of years but it’s just never…



Camp #08 – 2023; The explorer edition
Posted on 4 August 2023 by

There’s something special about travelling solo remotely; every path is your choice, no deadlines, no expectations, just go your own way. Sometimes there is a bit of reckless abandon, this was my case heading into Lidsdale State Forest and Marrangaroo National Park without another car to assist if the going got tough, without winch and…
