Easter Camping 2010

Well here we are Easter camping for five glorious days.


It may not look like much now, but wait till we set up camp.


Here's camping Jim and his camping dogs all set for five days of doing nothing much. Notice our small $60 tent - big enough for two but not for Bacci as well.


Here are some images of  theTuron River from our campsite....



It's all along this river system where some of the first gold discoveries were made and not far from here at Hill End is where one of the biggest single gold nuggets was found.
The water levels are low at the moment because the area hasn't had much rain lately.



The mornings were misty.....
 
The days warm and pleasant....


 And the nights were just cool enough for a campfire.


Then there were the views - well, lets just say that some were very entertaining to watch....


And the level of fun, just take a look at these faces....


As they say, a picture speaks a thousand words....


We couldn't catch Missie as she was off exploring the wild - she may not have seen much but oh boy those smells were sure intoxicating! And Toby, well he spent most of his time sulking because we wouldn't let him off his lead to go off and get lost exploring.





Finally, here's a brief glimpse at some of the local wildlife...


Believe it or not, but this is the best shot we could get of a dragonfly.

Well this is the end of the second post on Easter 2010. For the last segment, check out the next post on Easter Camping 2010 Sightseeing.

Cheers
