Life around camping was pretty hectic with a 16 month old. All he wanted to do was explore. However, he did enjoy sitting in his chairs and playing with mum and dad's coffee cups.
The first day, we were running around trying to figure out what things to do. We went to this town called Jaimeson, which was supposed to be great -- we thought it was disappointing. Then we went to this berry farm, thought we could pick some berries. Nope, no picking berries, just buying berries (however, those raspberries were the delish). We went to the Mansfield Zoo, and that was fun because it was quite interactive. Logan's favorite was feeding the camel, Cybil.
The last couple of days of our trip we did some hiking in the alpine. Our first day, Mt. Samaria. No, we didn't see any snakes, which we were totally expecting. I however had an incident with two bull ants (those things can bite). The hike to the Summit was hot, but there was some gorgeous wild flowers and the views were amazing.
The next day we went to Mt. Buller, this was to be the highlight of the trip. And the hike was easy, the views were amazing. The only thing that took away from it were all the chair lifts. Although, Logan loved all the parked snow plough machines.
After our hike was Craig's favorite park of the trip. He has been talking about going fishing for ages and this trip was going to be the trip. But, our campsite wasn't near a lake and it just didn't look like it was going to happen. But, on the way down was a park and a little river so we decided to stop. Now, the playground was blazing in sun, so Logan just practice his favorite hobby, throwing rocks. And Craig cast his line a few times. And to his SHOCK, he actually caught a fish, a little rainbow trout.
