What a welcome. We’d just checked in when we spotted him. He wasn’t asleep or high or chewing on leaves. He was alert and a real cutie. And then he came down, as though to greet us. Welcome to Kennett River. What a perfect way to begin the final night of our Great Ocean Road … More A Koala Convention

It was all so peaceful, except for the raucous five o’clock wake up call. But that’s life on the Murray, where we were camped last weekend. The river near Cobram is one of our favourite camping spots with wide sandy stretches of riverside beaches, surrounded by the peace of nature.

It was for the exact five days we wanted. Otherwise we would have gone back to Corryong in the High Country, one of many fire … More Innes National Park
