High Elevation Solo Camping at 1600 - [ Vic High Country ]

I was the driver in the Troopy who stopped to say hello - amazing spot and was great to see you up there.

[@timbates4wdadventures]

G'day Rich, That was a top drive along the cliff tops and down onto the beaches. I'll go back next year. Thanks mate Cheers Tim

[@ciadiac]

Magnificent. Just came back from the 4wd and Camping show in Perth. It was full of all the fancy gear and you could spend thousands and thousands on all the unnecessary gear. You have the all the gear you need for camping. Food, shelter and a view.

[@timbates4wdadventures]

Yeah mate, the Melbourne show in August was filled with the same high priced gear. I’ll stick with my basic, simple camp setup. It works well. Thanks mate. Cheers Tim

[@ColtonRMagby]

That site looks gorgeous. I'd love to camp somewhere similar in the US right now, but it's getting too cold to really enjoy it. You're transitioning to summer, but it's transitioning to winter here in the US. Where I live, it gets cold with snow only falling every few years. I have to run an electric heater in my bedroom because the vent for the HVAC ends high up on a wall, and there's barely any insulation in the walls. Stay safe out there, Tim.

[@timbates4wdadventures]

Yeah mate, we are coming out of Winter into Summer. We didn’t really have a winter this year. Very little snow and rain. Summer is forecast to be very dry and a high bush fire season. See how it all pans out. Thanks very much for your feedback all the way from the US. Cheers Tim

[@ColtonRMagby]

@@timbates4wdadventures Glad you've had a safe winter. Dry conditions with a fire danger level on the high side makes camping less fun because you have to pay more attention to your fire than normal, if you can have one lit in the first place. Hope your summer goes well. Cheers, Colton Magby.
