Charmed by Lake Charm

I set off with the intention of camping at Reedy Lake for a couple of nights. The idea was to free-camp without power to get a sense of how my battery is going (I accidentally ran it completely flat a couple of months ago). Reedy Lake There was only one other van at the small …

Amazing Lake Tyrrell

I'd never heard of this place before heading to Sea Lake to camp for a couple of days. Formed by the inundation of the Murray-Darling Basin and its subsequent retreat, this is Victoria's largest salt lake. Saltbush and samphire dot the landscape around the lake, and apparently small islands in the lake create a breeding …

Sitting pretty at Green Lake Regional Park

With restrictions easing and lockdowns less likely, it was time to head off somewhere a little further from home. So here I am at Green Lake, near Sea Lake. And what a pretty place it is. Although it's on the small side, there's more than enough room for people to get out on kayaks and …

Camping not far from home

I've been feeling unsure about venturing too far in recent weeks, with snap lockdowns called in some regional areas. So my last 3 camping trips have been relatively close to home. Wakiti Creek Resort I waited till the Sunday after the AFL grand final - and the end of school holidays - to head out …

Enjoying some not-quite-local walks

The last few weeks I've been heading out of town to walk. During our various lockdowns, I've walked every street in town, multiple times. I'm not motivated to do it any more. So I've started to head out of town to find patches of forest to walk in. Being in an area where land has …

Completed the O’Keefe Rail Trail

Finally finished walking the O'Keefe Rail Trail today. Two short lockdowns intervened but that only made the walks more enjoyable. Kate joined me for most of the walks, which were 3 to 5 km sections we walked in both directions. We covered all the trail minus a few kilometres at the start which would have …

Huge river red gums

During this latest lockdown, I've been planning a camping trip with the aim of visiting some of the biggest river red gums (Eucalyptus camaldulensis) in Victoria. I was inspired after walking through the Barmah Forest while camping there in July. I didn't realise at the time, but Barmah Forest is one of the two largest …

Big, beautiful trees

It's not surprising that dreaming about walking among trees has been a habit during lockdown. I had to indulge my desire in the only way I knew how - online. One of my favourite sites is the National Register of Big Trees. How wonderful that researchers, arborists and enthusiasts have produced such an amazing amount …

Walking the O’Keefe Rail Trail

Sensing an impending lockdown, I decided to get out and enjoy the last few hours of freedom by walking the O'Keefe Rail Trail. Starting in Heathcote, we (my friend Kate and I, along with Mala) walked the first few kilometres of the trail and back again. Later that day, the state's 6th lockdown was announced. …
