After years of neglect it was time to pull out the old family tent from under the house and put it to some good use. The first camping trip for Julia and me together seemed to be just the occasion for this. With the car loaded to the roof we set out on our mini adventure to Eildon National Park. As we did not have to be at the camp site till midday we took the longer route through Yea, via the historic Cheviot tunnel. A little detour definitely worth taking.
Lake Eildon looked picture prefect as always. It's famous "serenity" was somewhat diminished by the number of cars and people present. This was the biggest number of cars I've ever seen on a boat ramp. A camera with a wide lens was needed to truly capture this, as the cars continue on either side of the above photo.
Once put up, the tent looked surprisingly good for it's age. It's big size meant camping in style, or "glamping" (glamour camping) as Julia called it. In fact the tent did so well that I decided to scrap my plans of selling it.
Both Julia and I enjoyed this short camping excursion and have decided to do few more of these in the near future.

Yes definitely do a few more in the future! (Maybe minus that spider...)
