We decided on Walhella because Cate and I had been there before and had taken Zaron and Laytten, a lovely place we could introduce to Ethan and Aisha. Wikicamps had told us it was accessible with a camper trailer, however only one campsite was, the other was for tents only and had bollards preventing car access. The available one was rocky and the only unpleasant part of Walhella.
Back to wikicamps and we discovered Coopers Creek camp ground only 6 Kms away. Brilliant!
Turned out to be an amazing place. We drove in past several parked 4wds, to an oasis of rocky river, camp fire places and pristine bush. We parked the trailer and I began to set up.
We took our time setting up the camper, althought the actual tent took 5 mins (yes I did time it) to set up. The awning wasn't attached and that took a little time and getting all the boxes where we liked them was heaps of fun playing with. A little walk before dinner was great fun for the kids
Stew for dinner, 2 fruits for desert. It was then time for PJs and off to bed.
The kids slept much better than I thought they would. Asleep by 7, the usual time, however they both woke around 3 telling us they were cold. It was cold, around 2-3 degrees, they did go back to sleep and woke again at 7.
Was a beautiful morning. Foggy, misty, cold, beautiful. Set the fire and cooked breaky. Just after breaky the fog lifted to the most wonderful morning. Sunny, motionless. The mist began rising from the car and tent. Before long everything was dry. Ethan was singing the Beetles and he and Aisha were dancing by the fire, very cute.
We took our time packing up and went for a small walk to the creek, again beautiful. We had lunch in Walhella followed by a trip on the old log train.
The kids had a ball, as did Cate and I. I think Coopers Creek could be a place we could frequent often.
