Day 1 - Home to Camperdown


We managed to get away at 12:15 this afternoon and got a good 2 1/2 hours down the road before we stopped - in Colac. All 3 kids slept and travelled really well. After a play and a snack at the park in central Colac we completed our journey in Camperdown.


We're staying a night at 'Lakes and Craters' Caravan Park which is 3 km's out of town and well off the highway. We are on top of an extinct volcano with views across lakes and flat grasslands. Next door is the small but nice Botanical Gardens. We enjoyed a nice walk through the gardens after dinner, the kids loving the large old gnarly trees! We also found some cows nearby and one friendly horse.

Our caravan site is under a wonderful old 'Turkey Elm' tree and we think this small council run caravan parks is terrific. The manager even had a bag of lollies for each of the kids which Santa dropped off a couple of days ago!
