The What Did You Do On The Weekend Thread!!

[Deano]

Thanks MM & CD.
Here is some quick footage of a Barra that got away from another guy at PIKES Crossing, Benaraby QLD. Not far from where Crystalyn and Aaron stay.

The kid in the first video said it all...."Holy Crap!"

Looks like you've been catching our Barra.

There's always a lot of Barra around when the water goes over the wall.

We spent Sunday at Lake Awoonga, its only 5 minutes from our house.
Aaron went out on the reef with some of his workmates Saturday night.

Well here is what we did on the weekend - Easter Weekend. We camped at "The Walnuts" a free camp on Snowy creek between Mitta Mitta and Omeo (closer to Mitta) in the high country of Victoria. Beautiful day on Friday and Saturday and cold on Sunday and Monday (snowing at Falls Creek on the Monday - probably only 20kms or so away as the crow flys). Kids love the swing we take (which we picked up Bunnings) and loved riding the rapids on their boogie boards. Water was freezing - but great fun - but could not catch the elusive trout. Book reading by the campfire and storytelling to little kids high in a chestnut tree
. We were warm and toasty in the van at night under doonas or in sleeping bags -and the new toilet was a bonus for the cold midnight visit. The weber worked a treat making a yummy sunday lunch and lots of marshmallows in the campfire.

Looks like a great way to spend Easter BBM, if you like do a report in the Trips Section with the campground listed in the title. That way if someone does a search on the area it will come up :thumb: Or if you like do a thread in the free camp review thread :thumb:

Well we are 1/2 way through this weekend so I thought I'd share what I have been upto so far :smile:
I headed down to part of the Otway Ranges at the Anglesea end of the Great Ocean Rd and went motorbike riding. All up I covered 400km in the Cruiser and 100km on the bike. I had never ridden down there beforew and didn't know what to expect. It was an awesome day out and the sandy tracks perfect with ocean views along the ridglines.

I also checked out a couple of free campgrounds too, but I reckon they would get very busy.

I wonder what I'll get upto tomorrow :tape:

Nice work Action Man!

 

[Deano]

Hey CD, how did you upload your photos off your iPhone? I try to do it on the ipad2 but can't. If you didn't upload them via iPhone, will there be a option down the track to do this?
Cheers Deano

 

[cruza driver]

G'day Deano, I actually loaded them to the laptop when I got home then uploaded via Photobucket which I do for all my photos..

I'm not sure about loading them directly via your iPad, Expanda is the man to ask and he should be able to let you know if it will be an option later on too.

 

[Matty4]

You can download the photobucket app onto your Iphone and then you can just copy the img tags from there straight into your post.
Works very well and easy too.

 

[Deano]

Ok, I tried it out Matty, thanks for the tip matie.
Below is a ships marker that was washed up at Point Cartwright on the Sunshine Coast. It was huge.

Last weekend I went to Big River for one of my best mates Bucks Weekend, a nice fire and plenty of laughs. We went up 2 weeks earlier and chose a suitable campground for the weekend. Its handy having places like this less than 70k's from home.
Before setting up the fire was lit as there was a threat of rain, but didn't happen till 3am

Yesterday we went to Upper Yarra Dam in the Yarra Valley to check out a future destination for a camping trip away, and cook some snags for lunch






And today we went up Mt Donna Buang to see some snow



The recently refurbished lookout, but not much to see today

They are very handy Jimmy for those quick impromtu BBQ's. Then we boiled the kettle afterwards, too easy.

Thanks Pace, no worries there is plenty to see.

Took the kids up donna buang on Sunday. Just enough cover for a nice play but real bonus is it was actually snowing
