Camping part 1..

Well what a time we had -
Camping was fun... We set out with the very best of intentions but after getting completely lost on the way to pick up the tent, and then struggling to get out of Melbourne we were less than halfway by 9.30pm and it was pitch black ( not right for pitching a tent in!) So it was settled between Miss Godfrey and I, that rather than drive the winding dangerous road in the depth of night we would stop in the understated town of Townsville a beautiful little place and find a hotel.
Well we found a lovely little place and managed to sample some local ale before getting a good nights rest. It was very lucky that we did find such a delightful place to stop because we nearly booked into a road side Motel, it looked the most seedy and unkempt place I have ever cast my eyes upon, the owner had food all over his front and half the lights were gone. it really looked terrible. Saturday morning we had a great big breakfast and then set off for the camp site. It was a good job we didn't drive the Yarra Ranges at night, the locals call them the black roads because so many people have lost their lives on them. None the less they were beautiful and the drive was really scenic. The camp site was sat on the river side and we had a lovely time in the evening we had a BBQ and sat under the stars.. MORE LATER
