Barwon Heads, Victoria

We were able to camp at Barwon Heads CP for the first week of our stay in the area, after then we had to vacate as the park was fully booked for the Labor Day weekend, second Monday in March in Victoria.

Children don't seem to recognise the necessity of steps, instead would rather clamber down the sea-wall.

Some of our family on the beach at the mouth of the Barwon River. Almost full low tide at this time of day.

A lone fisherman on the jetty. The water is deep and the tidal current is very strong by the jetty. The bridge in the background takes you from Barwon Heads towards Ocean Grove and Point Lonsdale.

Our New Van

The time has finally arrived and we have taken delivery of our new caravan. This unit will give us the flexibility to camp in a wider variety of camp sites around the country, most times that will not be in a caravan park with all the luxuries that they provide.

We took delivery of the van 5 days ago but this is the first decent day to get out to take a photo. We are camped in the Barwon Heads CP. Since we have been here the wind has been gusting to Gale Force from the direction the camera is facing.

Our primary aim being here was to get the van set-up to our requirements. We also needed to  stock up with food and necessary accessories and also be in close proximity to our family in the nearby City of Geelong.

This was also our first opportunity to sit outside and relax with a beer and a book.
