Camping by the Beach
Camping is one of the Great Australian Traditions. Even if you’ve never gone yourself, to commune with nature, experience the great outdoors, and get away from the “rat race” for a few days certainly sounds like something worth pursuing.
One of my resolutions this year was to go camping at least twice, and this weekend just gone we went to the most beautiful spot just north of Mackay, North Queensland.
Yes, that was the view from the campsite – in fact the view that I woke up to in the morning and stepped out of the tent. Don’t we just live in the most magical part of the world?
Somewhere in there is our campsite. Completely hidden, but with the most magical views.
We were visited by some of the local wildlife
The cheeky beggar tried to steal my lunch.
Saturday afternoon we took our two eldest girls out in the boat and managed to get a spot of fishing in.
Although only my 3 year old managed to catch anything. The husband claims it was because he didn’t actually manage to get a line in, but we can all see that for what it is: a lousy excuse!
On Sunday we got up ridiculously early in some very cold weather to watch the sunrise,
And feed the Kangaroos
The kids had an absolute ball. They made friends with the girls camping next to us, and spent time playing with friends from day care who were also there. Before we left we rebooked in for another weekend in two months time. Of course, this time, we’ve scouted out the best campsites and may even have a larger party coming with us.
I can honestly think of no better way to spend a weekend than relaxing and camping. While the whole weekend was exhausting, I am definitely the most relaxed I have been in a long, long time. So, where’s your favourite camping spot?
I went camping with a group of girlfriends back in February on the Fleurieu Peninsula (Waitpinga). There’s a great campsite there and it was really relaxing.
What a gorgeous place to go camping. And great photos too. Can I come next time?????

what a beautiful part of Australia you live in …I love to go camping in a caravan more than a tent and anywhere.
We haven’t been for a while with the babies – now they are almost 2 we might have more chances.
We have a caravan in the UK and we absolutely love it. We are applying for our Australian Visa and are hoping to move there next year. We are looking forward to exploring this beautiful country.
nice place, how i wish could be there someday… by the way what do u use to take those high-quality pictures?
