Hi mate. I nearly put my Hilux over the edge up the back of Lake Dartmouth. Was cold and raining, had brand new muddies on, so I didn't drop pressures.

Great plug against the Great Forest National Park mate! Good on ya! That slide off the track was bloody scary! Just shows how things can possibly turn nasty very quickly out there. Loved the spot you camped in!
Nice vid mate. I enjoy the exploring without a set in stone plan. Perfect to see the challenges faced with closed roads and map inaccuracies. Makes it all the more real and shows people how it really can be. Google maps is the worst, we have lots of google horror stories.
I hear ya Az… Google and Hema are a bad combination at times, I have some bad stories to tell also, but if you have the time up your sleeve then I guess it’s called an adventure.🤷🏼♂️🤣🤦🏽 I can’t say I’ve ever really had a set plan in any of my trips, like to just point the troopy in a direction and then just keep following its nose. Thanks for taking the time to watch and thanks for your continued support Az 👍🏼
That trip could of been a lot different if you went over that edge Holy shit that was close. Good to know it all ended well mate What a ripper spot Not a bad plan b Beautiful through there. Never get sick of those Big gums. Watching you walk through there definitely gives us a perspective of how Big and Beautiful they are. Stunning camp spot. Not going to lie though. Bit disappointed you let the pressure get to you and you didn’t throw a line in. Old mate told you it was a proven fishing spot. Your time was then 🤷♂️😜😜 Hopefully you have a fish in the next episode and get onto a couple. As always mate. A crackin insight to another Beautiful spot. Good work Krusty. Cheers Brad & Fi

The trout in small stream are very territorial, they reckon it takes a few weeks for other fish to go back into the areas the trout were caught in, well that’s what old fella told me, he seemed like a genuine bloke.🤷🏼♂️ Mate, I’m over fishing for a while, I’ll wait to I get back down to Mallacoota.

My biggest nightmare, going over the edge when you driving on your own! That edge was as soft as!!! Phew, glad you did not come to grief! Doesn't matter how little you use the Maxtracs, so long as you have them with you, hey!! Noone has been down that walking track for a while by the looks of things, love all the moss on the trees, very pretty walk even in the trail was a little overgrown. Did any leaches attack you?? Certainly adding this campground to the list, great video Gav!
@@Lee-astrololee I shit myself … thought I was gone!! They will be staying up on top with an additional 2 when I start doing bigger trips. Don’t think it gets used much that walk, but it’s definitely worth a look if you’re in the area, a good warm up for the Old Growth Forest. It’s a great campground, well maintained, but there’s something about it that’s not right… then I clicked, it’s maintained by GECO ( Goongerah Environmental Centre ) the same mob that protested against the logging in the Errinundra Plateau. Bit I give them credit for stopping the logging and maintaining the campground. Ps lucky my grandfather isn’t around to hear that !! 🤣🤣 Thanks for watching Lee. 👍🏼
@aguyandhistroopy l would have certainly shit myself and probably lost a heap of confidence l sadly lack already lol l have only got 2 tracs myself and only used them once in sand because l couldn't be arsed to let my tyres down further!!! Yeah l know, right!! I certainly get it when you go to places and don't feel right, l bet your grandfather was with you every step you took into that walk. Wouldn't have surprised me if a tree fell down just to let you know he was there! 😁 The old growth forest will be an amazing video, l just love old trees, the shining gum is special, it must have a close knit grain in the wood structure so it doesn't burn, just like satinay trees on Fraser Island. I went past Goongerah campground earlier this year but continued on to Martin's Creek for a look before it got dark! There is always next time! So much to see and do down that way.
@@Lee-astrololee on Tele walk in I was going… ‘ that’s a big tree ‘ then ‘ man that’s a big tree ‘ then ‘ f&@k that’s a big tree ‘ then I got to the 700 year old trees and went 😲😲 Pop would have been running his hands together think about the one log loads he’d be pulling out of there if given the chance. 🤣
@@aguyandhistroopy hahahhaha 700 years old, WOW I am so glad there are some he didn't get! LOL Sssssh I wont say that too loud, in case he's listening!! LOL Trees are such amazing things though, they provide for so many things. Our heritage huts are there legacy, along with bridges, old timber fences and so much more. Just a pity they take so long to grow, but that is good also as they can be overlooked for culling! Glad you like the trees Gav, they certainly give that WOW factor when you look up at them. Love the Cedar trees in the ottways too for their tallness and shade capacity.
Absolutely stunning video driving through and walking amongst the majestic old-growth trees and the lush under-canopy of mosses, ferns and tree ferns. The secluded campsite there appeared pristine and well-maintained. Thank you for sharing another great spot!!!
@@CooeeAdventures thank you, this is just a warm up for the next episode when I walk into the Old Growth Forest, this blew my mind when I reached the end of the walk, prehistoric dinosaurs the tree ferns and 600 - 700 year old shining gums.

@@aguyandhistroopy Wow! can't wait for the next video to drop! Yes love the big old trees, something about them, just in awe. At the moment I am recovering.

@@CooeeAdventures shit, that’s no good about the PTSD, but good news about looking at a Troopy, they always make me happy. If you need any advice shoot us a message on Messenger.

Loved it Krusty. My sort of country for great, quiet camping spots. I imagine the animal noises at night would be interesting. I reckon my little shitbox Corolla could find it's way into there easily enough. Your efforts at a bit of diversification are commendable. It needn't all be Herne Spur's, and Zeka tracks. I've camped at the Goongerah campground, plenty of mozzies and damp wood from memory. I reckon a few prints of some of the fantastic country you visit would be good merch? I'd part with a few bucks no worries. You'll never find places like this without putting some gravel in your travel. Cheers digger. 😀👍
@@mort8143 it’s a cracking campground Mort, they have done a lot of work to it recently, leveled it out a fair bit I reckon, heaps of wildlife box’s and the trees that have lost their tops on the storms, but that to be expected seeing a greenie mob called GECO maintain it. Good get into the rainforest walk and the Old Growth Walks no worries mate in the Corolla. I’m always too busy filming to take photos, I struggle to get a thumbnail up sometimes. Have to mix it up mate, don’t want to become stagnant, I love finding new places, shame the viewers don’t like it as much and the VHC videos. Thanks Mort for watching and dropping a comment mate. 👍🏼
Thanks Krusty. I'm not overly happy about the glut of VHC content available. Too many cowboys in the bush nowadays I reckon. Last time I was camping at a quiet spot in NE Victoria a few groups of 4wd's arrived late and began chainsawing firewood and running generators, then loudly pissing on 'til late. It's getting hard to find any place quiet, where I can have a real campfire, and appreciate some silence. Oh well, they say that's progress. Keep well mate. 🇦🇺👍

Half way down a red clay decent the tyres turned into red donuts and I slid at walking pace towards the edge with no stopping until I hit the grader lip on the track. Maxtrax got me out. Scary stuff. ❤ video, cheers mate 👍 🐕🤠
@@mickwatson2177 Atleast you had an excuse being in red clay and on a track. I was on a maintained rd. 🤦🏽
It’s a scary feeling but that’s for sure, a little more care on my behalf next time.
Chers for watching Mick 🍻
That climber you saw is a native species. Clematis aristata, common names include: Goat beard or Old man's beard.. When it goes to seed, it develops a fluffy/ down like appearance.
@@petermiller9115 good to know Pete, I thought it might of been an invasive species, it looked bloody awesome. Might have to go back and grab me some. 👍🏼
Thanks for the info, and also for taking the time to watch.
Cheers 👍🏼
Once again mate that was great. Nice to see you chill out. I saw the rain on the side of the road when you drove in. That must have been scary. Certainly a write-off for the car if you went down The bank that part of the world is special. Those trees are certainly amazing you've got a really good setup going now which is good to see. All the best mate. Looking forward to seeing the next one. All the best, sheppy
@@michaelsheppard6486 I’ve really been enjoying these relaxing camping episodes.
It definitely put the wind up me, if I couldn’t reverse out I was getting out of there, had no where or way to winch.
You need to watch the next episode, the Old Growth Walk is next level. I almost didn’t drop this episode due to that.
Thanks for watching Michael and taking the time to drop a comment 👍🏼
What a top spot mate, and all to yourself. Have marked that one on the map.
@@peterstone5356 yeah it’s actually surprised me that I had it by myself, no complaints though.
Definitely worth a stay.
Thanks for taking the time out to watch mate. 👍🏼
Beautiful thank you !
@@louisaklimentos7583 you’re more then welcome, thanks for watching Louisa. 👍🏼
Nice watch mate. Definitely an “oh shit” moment for sure. Any day in the bush is a win in my books. Take care man 😊
@@mattyranger5565 thanks mate. Its was a bit nerve racking as I was heading towards the edge that’s for sure, a change of underwear was required !! 🤦🏽🤣
So true, takes you away from the rat race and helps clear your head.
Thanks for watching Matty and taking the time to comment. 👍🏼
Must check out that Park! Looks very tempting!! great video mate.
@@keithbagshaw3146 thanks Keith, it’s a well presented campground with a spectacular area up the road which must be seen.
The next episode I believe will make you go and visit it at some time just so you can take it all in and be with nature… and I’m definitely no greenie, family was 3 generation sawmillers till Dan Andrews put a stop to that. 🤬
Top spot mate, great work. Thanks mate.
No problems Ray, glad you watched mate. 👍🏼
Great plug against the Great Forest National Park mate! Good on ya!
That slide off the track was bloody scary! Just shows how things can possibly turn nasty very quickly out there.
Loved the spot you camped in!
Great Camp 👍
@@PittwaterMowingAustralia looks like they spend a bit of time on the mowers there Ray, it was beautifully maintained. 👌
Nice vid mate. I enjoy the exploring without a set in stone plan. Perfect to see the challenges faced with closed roads and map inaccuracies. Makes it all the more real and shows people how it really can be. Google maps is the worst, we have lots of google horror stories.
I hear ya Az… Google and Hema are a bad combination at times, I have some bad stories to tell also, but if you have the time up your sleeve then I guess it’s called an adventure.🤷🏼♂️🤣🤦🏽
I can’t say I’ve ever really had a set plan in any of my trips, like to just point the troopy in a direction and then just keep following its nose.
Thanks for taking the time to watch and thanks for your continued support Az 👍🏼
That trip could of been a lot different if you went over that edge
Holy shit that was close.
Good to know it all ended well mate
What a ripper spot
Not a bad plan b
Beautiful through there. Never get sick of those Big gums. Watching you walk through there definitely gives us a perspective of how Big and Beautiful they are.
Stunning camp spot.
Not going to lie though. Bit disappointed you let the pressure get to you and you didn’t throw a line in.
Old mate told you it was a proven fishing spot. Your time was then 🤷♂️😜😜
Hopefully you have a fish in the next episode and get onto a couple.
As always mate. A crackin insight to another Beautiful spot.
Good work Krusty.
Cheers
Brad & Fi
@@reddustadventures yeah mate, I just manage to keep finding some cracking spots for the drive home from work. 👌
I was lucky mate, the soft edge on the hinge point of the batter saved me for sure. So lucky… and also that I good go back out the way I came, otherwise I was going nowhere.
The trout in small stream are very territorial, they reckon it takes a few weeks for other fish to go back into the areas the trout were caught in, well that’s what old fella told me, he seemed like a genuine bloke.🤷🏼♂️
Mate, I’m over fishing for a while, I’ll wait to I get back down to Mallacoota.
You wait till the next episode if you want to see big gums and some of the biggest tree ferns I’ve seen in my life.
Cheers for watching mate, appreciate the support you show for the channel and myself.
Cheers
Krusty.
Nothing ruins a good rainforest walk quite like gumtrees
@@intimatespearfisher the next episode has some amazing rainforest sections where the old shining gums are. It was insane, blew me away.
Cheers for watching mate. 👍🏼
First time watcher. Loved it! So lucky you didn’t go over that bank.
@@nalkur thanks Geoff, appreciate you watching mate.
Yeah, I was pretty lucky. Felt like it was in slow motion, glad I stayed straight otherwise I would have been in a world of hurt.
Hopefully we see you on the next one. 600-700 year old Shining Gums 👍🏼
Top spot Gav, could happily camp there a week and just fish...in peace. Nice work mate.
@@Yipmanhands yeah it was nice, don’t think it’s that quiet there normally. Think I just got lucky this time. 👍🏼
Cheers for the ongoing support 🍻
Great Trip & camp spot,keep it up ,see you out there 😎👍🏼🥃
@@MarkOhalloran-t6r thanks Mark, yell out if you see me mate, always up for a chat! 👍🏼
Mate that’s a gem of a campsite. Agree that it’s worth stopping for a bit, taking a breath and enjoying what life has to offer. So easy to be sucked into the demands of daily life. Enjoying your recent content mate.👍
@@happyguy61 yeah Chris, it seems to be the way of the world these days, everyone trying to make ends meet and before you know it you have missed so much of your life.
I’ve been enjoying these more relaxed camps… but the seasonal closures have opened up, so I’ll be back up on the tracks.
You must be getting close to starting your trip?
Cheers for watching mate. 🍻
@@aguyandhistroopy getting close mate - got a week off first week of December🎉 Haven’t finalised an itinerary yet but definitely heading down the south coast (NSW) and perhaps end up in Phillip Island. May stop off in Mallacoota if time permits.
@@happyguy61 well it’s slowly getting closer, nothing worse then waiting for a date to come so you can go on a trip - holiday 🤦🏽
all ways good
@@garthyguts thanks mate, appreciate you taking the time to watch it. 👍🏼
Great video and a great looking camp site.
@@MattWeddis thanks Matt, just a drive home from work on the Snowy 2.0, waiting for the seasonal closures to open up in the VHC, beautiful part of the world, the next episode of the Old Growth Walk is spectacular.
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment 👍🏼
Thanks Gav, let’s all make sure we are not locked out of great places like this.🍺🇦🇺
@@daverobertsHJ45 that’s the problem Dave, they’ll make these sorts of areas into NP’s and then lock the gates. I believe some place deserve to be NP’s but not every State Forest as the Vic Government are looking at doing!
Cheers for watching Dave! 🍻
Another great video! Said before, LOVE the drone shots, very cleverly done. When the next one! Take care😊
@@sylviakaberry6645 Thankyou, glad you enjoyed it Sylvia.
The drone sometimes puts the location into a better perspective.
Cheers for the support 👍🏼
Beautiful camp spot and enjoy the slower, relaxing pace. Not wrong about how hectic life is, nice to make changes where you can🇳🇿
@@tleej26 thanks Tracey, yeah, it’s always go go go in life at the moment, then the same when I go filming for episodes in YT.
I’m actually enjoying the slower pace of these trips.
Thanks for watching and taking the time out to comment. 👍🏼
Jurassic Park 😂🍺👍
@@barryanderson9124 the Old Growth Forest Walk was Jurassic Park Sparra. Pretty impressive. 👍🏼
My biggest nightmare, going over the edge when you driving on your own! That edge was as soft as!!! Phew, glad you did not come to grief!
Doesn't matter how little you use the Maxtracs, so long as you have them with you, hey!! Noone has been down that walking track for a while by the looks of things, love all the moss on the trees, very pretty walk even in the trail was a little overgrown. Did any leaches attack you?? Certainly adding this campground to the list, great video Gav!
@@Lee-astrololee I shit myself … thought I was gone!! They will be staying up on top with an additional 2 when I start doing bigger trips.
Don’t think it gets used much that walk, but it’s definitely worth a look if you’re in the area, a good warm up for the Old Growth Forest.
It’s a great campground, well maintained, but there’s something about it that’s not right… then I clicked, it’s maintained by GECO ( Goongerah Environmental Centre ) the same mob that protested against the logging in the Errinundra Plateau. Bit I give them credit for stopping the logging and maintaining the campground.
Ps lucky my grandfather isn’t around to hear that !! 🤣🤣
Thanks for watching Lee. 👍🏼
@aguyandhistroopy l would have certainly shit myself and probably lost a heap of confidence l sadly lack already lol l have only got 2 tracs myself and only used them once in sand because l couldn't be arsed to let my tyres down further!!! Yeah l know, right!!
I certainly get it when you go to places and don't feel right, l bet your grandfather was with you every step you took into that walk. Wouldn't have surprised me if a tree fell down just to let you know he was there! 😁
The old growth forest will be an amazing video, l just love old trees, the shining gum is special, it must have a close knit grain in the wood structure so it doesn't burn, just like satinay trees on Fraser Island. I went past Goongerah campground earlier this year but continued on to Martin's Creek for a look before it got dark! There is always next time! So much to see and do down that way.
@@Lee-astrololee on Tele walk in I was going… ‘ that’s a big tree ‘ then ‘ man that’s a big tree ‘ then ‘ f&@k that’s a big tree ‘ then I got to the 700 year old trees and went 😲😲
Pop would have been running his hands together think about the one log loads he’d be pulling out of there if given the chance. 🤣
@@aguyandhistroopy hahahhaha 700 years old, WOW I am so glad there are some he didn't get! LOL Sssssh I wont say that too loud, in case he's listening!! LOL Trees are such amazing things though, they provide for so many things. Our heritage huts are there legacy, along with bridges, old timber fences and so much more. Just a pity they take so long to grow, but that is good also as they can be overlooked for culling! Glad you like the trees Gav, they certainly give that WOW factor when you look up at them. Love the Cedar trees in the ottways too for their tallness and shade capacity.
Absolutely stunning video driving through and walking amongst the majestic old-growth trees and the lush under-canopy of mosses, ferns and tree ferns. The secluded campsite there appeared pristine and well-maintained. Thank you for sharing another great spot!!!
@@CooeeAdventures thank you, this is just a warm up for the next episode when I walk into the Old Growth Forest, this blew my mind when I reached the end of the walk, prehistoric dinosaurs the tree ferns and 600 - 700 year old shining gums.
Can I ask what’s happened to your channel, haven’t seen much content lately and only the one video on you channel at the moment ?
Cheers
Krusty
@@aguyandhistroopy Wow! can't wait for the next video to drop! Yes love the big old trees, something about them, just in awe.
At the moment I am recovering. I have been diagnosed with PTSD, anxiety and associated trauma stuff. Ive been thinking about getting a troopy actually, looked at some of the conversions out there, yeah so just living through the adventures of others atm
@@CooeeAdventures shit, that’s no good about the PTSD, but good news about looking at a Troopy, they always make me happy. If you need any advice shoot us a message on Messenger.
If you like big trees and dense rainforest you’ll love the next one, it’s almost prehistoric down there. I had to just sit down for half an hour and absorb it all in… and to rest my legs. 🤦🏽🤣
Keep well
@@CooeeAdventures is the PTSD the reason you took all of your video off your channel?
@@aguyandhistroopy Thanks if I do end up deciding on a Troppy will let you know! Will have to sell the other two vehicles though to afford one
Most beautiful country in the world.
@@paddygora8413 we are blessed here in Australia that’s for sure mate. 👍🏼
Faaaark Gav! It can happen so fast. Glad you didnt get that much gravel in your travel 😂
@@nataliafidyka2372 lesson learnt there… stay on the gravel. 🤦🏽🤣
It certainly can, think I was a little too casual on the approach. Just glad I stayed up on top.
Thanks for watching Nat. 👍🏼
@ really enjoyed that one! And very glad you’re here to tell us about it.
Loved it Krusty. My sort of country for great, quiet camping spots. I imagine the animal noises at night would be interesting. I reckon my little shitbox Corolla could find it's way into there easily enough. Your efforts at a bit of diversification are commendable. It needn't all be Herne Spur's, and Zeka tracks. I've camped at the Goongerah campground, plenty of mozzies and damp wood from memory. I reckon a few prints of some of the fantastic country you visit would be good merch? I'd part with a few bucks no worries. You'll never find places like this without putting some gravel in your travel. Cheers digger. 😀👍
@@mort8143 it’s a cracking campground Mort, they have done a lot of work to it recently, leveled it out a fair bit I reckon, heaps of wildlife box’s and the trees that have lost their tops on the storms, but that to be expected seeing a greenie mob called GECO maintain it.
Good get into the rainforest walk and the Old Growth Walks no worries mate in the Corolla.
I’m always too busy filming to take photos, I struggle to get a thumbnail up sometimes.
Have to mix it up mate, don’t want to become stagnant, I love finding new places, shame the viewers don’t like it as much and the VHC videos.
Thanks Mort for watching and dropping a comment mate. 👍🏼
Thanks Krusty. I'm not overly happy about the glut of VHC content available. Too many cowboys in the bush nowadays I reckon. Last time I was camping at a quiet spot in NE Victoria a few groups of 4wd's arrived late and began chainsawing firewood and running generators, then loudly pissing on 'til late. It's getting hard to find any place quiet, where I can have a real campfire, and appreciate some silence. Oh well, they say that's progress. Keep well mate. 🇦🇺👍
Nice one bruv 👍
@@neil_woth5199 thanks mate, just another drive on the way home from work on the Snowy 2.0.
Seasonal closures are open. Back up into the VHC again now. 👍🏼
Great video Gav 😊
Thanks Julie, we have some cracking spots in our backyard! 👍🏼
Nice vid as usual mate , how green was that grass really nice camping ground
@@scottjacobs7522 yah mate it was well maintained, a heap of work had been done recently, makes sense when it’s a massive conservationist group that maintains it I recently found out.
Thanks for watching 👍🏼
Thanks I might head down to that spot for a camp .
@@whitey321 I see you like fishing? Spoke to a guy on my trip who camped there a couple days before I got there and he pulled a heap of trout in, walked a couple of ks in both directions. Seen a heap of snakes. So plenty of trout in there, just hope no one gets there before you and catches them all. 🤦🏽
Cheers for watching mate.
@ yes mate love my fishing my son is a made fly fisherman
@@whitey321 hopefully you have some lunch if you go there. 👍🏼
Another great video, that was definitely a close call, did you check your jocks after that 😟
It’s so cool that you love to have a flick with the rod, but I reckon you should have a go at haven a swing with a metal detector, you cover so much amazing ground you never know what’s out there 👍🏼🍻
Bummer the pub was shut too..
If the coin was open I’d probably be over the edge I’d say, and stained jocks for sure.
I’ve been asked a few times why I don’t have a crack at why I don’t look for gold, be the same reason I shouldn’t be fishing, just wasting my time.
Thanks for watching Tracey, appreciate the support of the channel. 👍🏼
@@aguyandhistroopy such a close call that’s for sure 😟
I still reckon your going to get that fish hang in there 🙂
So glad you didn’t come a cropper, no one would have known you were down the ditch. Must have given you a fright.
Loved your campsite reflections, we totally relate. Also loved the sounds of the birds, isn’t Australia absolutely spectacular.
Cheers Marg
Beautiful, nature at its finest. But...how was the fishing?? 😊
@@CantleJ541 no
Fishing this time, old mate I met on the tracks fished it out the day before, he reckons the trout in small streams are very territorial and would have to wait a week, sounded legit enough for me !! 🤣🤣
Thanks for the comment and for watching !! 👍🏼
Another great vid mate and what an awesome camp spot. What didn’t go to plan at the pub at Bendoc ? Did they run out of beer?
@@TheCollinsClan80 the Bendoc Pub wasn’t open at that time. Was a bit dirty in it. Had a few beers there in another episode, really nice young couple that brought it, and apparently they have stubbie holders now, wanted to add to my collection.
Thanks for watching Steve! 👍🏼
Bloody hell mate that would of been sketchy as!
@@melburnian1979 for something so simple yeah it was, all in slow motion.🤦🏽 I had no say in it when it started to go.
Thanks for watching Craig 👍🏼
@@aguyandhistroopy rainforest walk was pretty cool , and that epic campsite on the river drone shots 🥇
Goongarah , Greeny camp 😂😂
@@barryanderson9124 yeah I thought there was something strange about it. Imagine old Ray if he knew I camped there. 🤦🏽🤣
Cheers Sparra for watching mate.
Can't beat a tooheys new mate.👍
@@williamdaniels1539 yeah, use to drink it on all my trips when up in Qld, can’t get it that easily in my hometown in Vic. 🤷🏼♂️ the up side I’m not going to the esky or to piss as much during the night on the Tooheys ! 🤣🤦🏽
Do you sleep in the clothes your been sitting the fire with ??
Great stuff as always Kristy. Keep it up! Are you still with Snowy 2.0?
Thanks mate. Yeah up here at the moment, missed the opening to the seasonal closures… not that it’s a bad thing. 🤣🤣
Take off on Thursday, for a trip on the way home.
Thanks for watching and supporting the channel mate. It’s appreciated! 👍🏼
Have ya got the new awning yet mate ?
@@BS21BS21 yeah mate, it made and appearance in the last Snowy River camp video and also in this video at camp.
Pretty impressed with it. 👍🏼
Beautiful spot brother, very lucky to have to yourself, yes things can change very quickly, fire by a river doesn’t get any better ❤❤
Probably just the special one to keep the beer dry. 🤣🤣👍
@@louiskudlak2241 that one snuck up on me. 🤦🏽🤣
It was a cracking camp spot, very well maintained that for sure. The river was spectacular!
