Another cool high country morning, with the sun rising over the trees in the yonder the prospect of a cracking day was on the cards and so was a sleep in 🙂 Ghost Gully with all its niceties is likely a campground I will drive through but not stop by in any future trips to…

Camp #2 – 2025; Straya Day (Part 2)
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)
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?
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 6, 7, 8 & 9; Tom Groggin to Denison
With the Upper Murray River starting to swell, the weather crisp and gloomy, but clearing we left Tom Groggin with haste. Our next stop Sundance Bakehouse Jindabyne and then pushing through Adaminaby to Denison Campground. We arrived at Denison just shy of 4pm with firewood to burn and a darkening outlook on the horizon, our…
Days 4 & 5; Geehi to Tom Groggin
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
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…

Camp #10 – 2023; We’ve hit double digits!
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 #08 – 2023; The explorer edition
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…
