Billy's Camp No. 1 Lake Eildon, Vic.

22/2/2012
( wow look at all those twos, started my apprenticeship 41 years ago today !!! )

G'Day All,

Not quite sure how this all works, but here goes.
My plan is simple, no plan. I will meander towards SA and head up the center of Oz to arrive up north after the current wet season. I will troop around the top and leave as the next wet season approaches. I will then head down the west coast of WA.

No deadlines, no time frames :)

I left Canberra Thursday 16th Feb 2012, and arrived at "Picnic Point " the same day, its a free camp spot alongside Lake Eildon near Mansfield in Vic, on the Delatite Arm. There are many, dozens, of free camps along the lake most w long drop toilets and concrete in ground fireplaces. Very few are in the Camps 6 book??? They are well maintained and clean. Wotcha doin NSW ?
The lake is near full and was at 99% last year compared to 5% in 2007.
