Theres something about this camping trip that feeling grotty and dirty for a couple of weeks is definately worth putting up with to     enjoy  the many other aspects of camping such as waking up to the sound of cockatoo’s, early rising kids chants of laughter, the keen     skiiers  early morning pass by, relaxing and sitting around the campfire sharing our stories, watersports, morning kangaroo sighting walks, easter egg hunts, birthday parties, climbing trees, fishing, river floats, motorbike riding, night walks, cooking marshmellows and damper  on our  campfires, enjoying the most of wet weather by          playing  in mud-slides, flying high on our man made fox and much much more.

Many of these people including myself and my husband have been coming back to the same destination for about 13 years now and since we have all started families the trips have eventually gone from a couple of young babies to about 19 amazing little campers. Some are now teenagers which now have many incredible memories of our annual Echuca camping trip by the Murray River.
We all live busy lives and while I consider this camping group very close friends we still do not catch up as much as we would like to so this trip is a great way to  stop and enjoy ones company without the outside world getting in the way.
I hope to share some of my experiences and funny stories we have encounted during these trips as well as some camping tips and tricks for other happy campers or maybe inspire those to think about          planning their first camping trip with family and friends. I would love to also share some stories of my love for the ocean, surfing and some of my travels over the years.
But for now, happy camping to you all.
Julie.
