Camping Close By

Opting not to travel to Bathurst and Hill End for the National Orienteering Champs, we remained at home working for the school holidays until the last weekend where we escaped for a mini camping break.

Travelling only 60km south of Canberra, we arrived at the Orroral Campground at 4ish on Friday afternoon. A quick recce of the camping area saw us choose an elevated site with great rocks and trees to climb nearby.

We took advantage of the gas BBQ to cook our hamburger patties before lightning a fire on which we roasted our very sticky damper on sticks. As the sun dipped below the horizon, the wind picked up the temperature dropped rapidly and we soon all retreated into the tent.
