Strathbogie Ranges Camping, James Reserve VIC & extra reviews (3 Sept 2024) #freecampingaustralia
I spent a few days camping at James Reserve Campground in the Strathbogie Ranges in Victoria.
Had two lovely nights all alone there this week. Possums, wombats, roos, wallabies and birds. Clean grounds & drop loo. Cute creek. Pleasant walks. Rocky Ned campground and falls eastbound on Lima East Rd/Tk. Moonee Creek Tk to Carters Lookout & Sandy Ck falls a little tricky for 2WD. Peaceful.

I spent a few days camping with a couple mates at Glendinning Campground by Rocklands Reservoir in the Rocklands State Forest near the Grampians in Victoria. Had a great few nights here. No fish caught. Lots of birds. Roos and even a squirrel glider. Lots of flat sites. Enjoyed our time there. Filmed with a Sony HDR-X3000 and photos taken with Nikon D750. Edited with Vegas Pro 15.

I spent a few days camping at Green Lake in the northern Victoria Mallee region. Caretaker Peter and his wife Arlene are lovely. Had a great few nights here. No fish caught. Lots of birds.

Loved the journey, mate! (And it hit the spot. Came back from a stressful day at work, and this was the first thing that landed in my feed. 🙂) First of all, love the name, Strathbogie. Relaxing to hit the trails with you. And I agree: love the rocks, but not the noise of the rec vehicles. And, as always, a nice song selection at the end. 😎👍
Glad you enjoyed it! It’s all worth it with comments like yours.
Another excellent video. Wonderful camp grounds.
Cheers my friend. Certainly was a good trip.
nice video mate, see any deer?
Thx. No, didn't see any. Not that I can recall anyway. I know I've seen them in places, but from memory I forget now. Hence I'm now keeping a record of my trips a bit better lol. FYI, there was a guy hunting deer on my Howqua trip a few months back.
@@okidoke4822 nice man, yea that’s the way, can always look back on your experience with TH-cam videos. I’ve seen heaps up howqua, good spot there. I
@@jfisho.7 yes beautiful indeed
There are some really awesome spots, knowing where they are and how to get to them, having the right car is another thing haha.
You're absolutely right. Thankfully I haven't got bogged yet :)
You're looking great, Okidoke!
So kind of you to say 😁
Correction-the narrator, Simon Vance, is renowned. I have listened to many books by him. He does a fine job with the Afrikaans names and words, and distinguishes characters very well. But his voice is upperclass British most of the time.
I’ve never listened to audio books. Like a podcast I’d assume though.
I’m 37% into the audiobook. The narrator does a fine job with all the various South African voices. You have given an excellent review.
Thx for that. I appreciate you watching. :)
Thanks again for sharing. Looks like a rippa spot
Cheers
Hi We're heading there next week after watching your vid. I meant to ask in my last comment whether there is plenty of firewood or do we need to bring it in? Thanks Mick
Ah, that’s the admission that you didn’t watch to the end lol. Bring it. There’s bits and pieces but I wouldn’t rely on it. Close to where we were there was a guy who has become a permanent and he likes to collect what he can find.
The cleaner camping site alway have less firewood, in some places have too many falling tree branch with different forest. If you get over the north side of the Westen Highway, the weather and temperature alway warmer.
Great little video keep them coming good to see spots around goldfields area 😁👍
I appreciate you watching. Cheers.
Thanks for sharing some great spots in Victoria
You bet! Plan to keep doing more :) Thx for watching.
Dang, I never thought of that!!!! You just found out how to do it!!
I stood at my work bench and scanned around, then suddenly saw the paint brush :)
that’s cool as
thx
Great video can I ask what maps or apps you use or would recommend.
For camping I just use wikicamps, then I try to research locations further online anywhere I can. Because some places don't have recent reviews, I've started doing my own to assist others. Thx for watching.
Great video. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Had a van, trying to do this stuff in an xtrail 👿👿 Keep up the good work!
Appreciate your watching.
Its nice up there, the Glendinning homestead isn't far from where you were camping, we camped at Ferguson's for a few days (years ago) and my dog was growling then a huge ruckus in the water, like loud as but a fair way off, i awake in morning told the others they didn't hear a thing, that night just about to hit the sack, same noise, it was bloody Emus going flat out in the shallow water, just letting off steam, doing their crazy dance, super bright torch picked them up a few hundred meters away.
Oh that’s so cool. I’d love to capture such a scene on camera. Thx for watching.
I've forgotten what its like to get back to nature and this video is a reminder to me of how much I do miss it and how nature can help reset yourself for every day people life🙂. Thanks so much for sharing and the reminder!
You betchya! It’s the reason I need get away myself. So good for the soul. All going well I’m heading off again Monday for another reset 😁 Stay tuned and thx for watching!
Only about 1/4 cup of salt actually. I do this full clean once a month. Each week though I refresh 1/4 of the water with rainwater and give the tank a wipe down.
Hi mate i came across you on your walk i was camping with my collie. If i had of known you vlog and have this channel i would have loved to have a proper yarn with you. How good was the weather 5 days no wind rain clear skies best time of year to camp i reckon. I just bought a gopro and have been thinking about vlogging my camps so would have been great to pick your brain damn. Keep the vids going mate, next time your down this way i will send you some info of some other secret spots you will like around the area.
I don’t like to intrude on other campers really, for a few reasons, but that’s nice of you to say. Was nice talking with you. Hope you caught some fish in the end. 😁
Really enjoyed watching
That is so nice to hear and makes it all so worthwhile.
There is a prequel to the series that I’ve just ordered called “The Ring of Solomon”.
Awesome work my friend.
Appreciate that. Coming from you, that’s a real compliment.
Nice little setup. I had a similar setup with my old 6 x 4 trailer. I had King's gear and worked great. Roof top tent with annex, 270 degree awning. Made my own 12v system. Was a great little trailer but now have upgraded to an Opus Op-lite. There's so many spots in Victoria like this.
Sure are. I should’ve started making the videos earlier. I’ll revisit some I reckon.
Gets very busy during Xmas and Easter holidays. A lot of people camp below high water mark. Have never seen a glider there before. Great video.
I feel so lucky to have seen it.
Rippa vid mate. Found it just in time as we're heading out that way soon. Thanks for sharing
So glad I can assist people like yourself. Have a great trip.
As usual great footage and informative. Loved the time out photos. Cheeky Maggie’s!!
Thank you for that. Glad you enjoyed it.
Great video....like the pause in the middle for "time out" and then the still photos 👍🙌👏👏
Glad you enjoyed it
You're great and better luck next time you go fishing!
Haha thanks for that. I have fun either way 😁
See my latest fishing saga in my new Glendinning Camping video lol
Great Video. We love Green Lake we were the caretakers about 18 months ago and really enjoyed our time there. Peter’s new cabin/office looks good, we will have to call in soon. 😊
Hey thx so much for your comment. It’s a great place for sure.
Their typing is shit.🤣
Hahaha I reckon so
nice setup
Cheers. It’s always a work in progress.
what a lovely video , thank you
Glad you enjoyed it. Thx for watching!
Mud wasp harmless
Yep that's correct. In my 57 years I've seen many and they've never bothered me, but I still wouldn't want to annoy one too much. Thx for watching
Just stumbled across your video today and we are heading north from Melbourne on the weekend and Green Lake looks like a nice stopover on our way north. I haven't been in there before, thanks for posting this.
Very welcome. Enjoy your trip.
Bow birds? Nice video made well 👍
Well, I did think of bower birds, but I didn’t see any around, and they weren’t mentioned on the markers, plus the bowers those birds make aren’t quite like that. But maybe, lol, I’m no expert.
Top video, you've got great skills for these sort of presentations. Very informative.
lol, cheers mate.
🙏woke this morning feeling crap. Found this. Thank you.
You're so welcome! Thanks for taking the time to watch it.
Awesome! 🍺😋👍
Cheers thx
I have the 2007 America 865 carb model has the sculpted tank, very comfortable bike to ride
Practically the same bike. Negligible difference really. I sold mine a few years ago now, and I do miss it at times.
You said you aren't a boxer. But if you had to hit someone, just supposing, how much stronger is your punch since hitting a bag? I have access to one in my local fitness center and have thought about incorporating it into a routine if it builds muscle and endurance.
I’m not sure if my punches are stronger because of hitting the bag, because it is a cardio exercise, but definitely I’m getting stronger from my weight training. Certainly my endurance and stamina have improved though. I suppose my punching speed would improve due to using the hand weights though. It’s a great exercise if you can manage to access a heavy bag. Thx for watching. 😁
Yo Danny. Good work out. Andy
Just let me know when you want to have a workout :)
Nice 👍 keep going
Thank you, I will
Great vibe, mate! Just hanging out, doing this and that. 🙂 That breakfast fry-up looked good! And yes, to Tony's point, mint in salad -- classic, time-honoured move. 👍
Thanks for watching mate 😉
Great job......I think you're ready for Falls Creek to Mt Beauty 😉
lol thx buddy
LOOKING GREAT MAN ! KEEP IT UP!!!!
Thx bud. Appreciate the praise.
I inherited a copy of the book and my reaction was exactly the same as yours. The guy was a famous "radio star" BTW
Oh really? He's certainly got a face for radio lol (not that mine's much better)
Ah, so no foot note for you 😅
Foot rubs only
You shouldn't need to deload from weight training after 30 days. Especially if you've only done half a dozen workouts in a month.
Thx for your comment. It made me realise an error, which you can note in the description. It was in fact a dozen weight workouts, but I wanted to get into the habit of deloading. I also trained every other day with cardio work, so by the end of the month I had become a bit worn out anyway. I averaged 1.75hrs training a day. And as an older guy, I did feel it, so I'd rather be safer than sorrier. Whatever works for you though mate. Take care. Thanks for watching.
Loved this! And yes I was wondering.
I appreciate your viewing. 😁
