I had a great time hiking with work this week. Tuesday we drove up the Wonangatta River onto the Wongungurra before parking beside the road at Glenlea, then hiked to Talbotville, which was the hub of the area. Talbotville is now a beautiful camping ground.😎
We camped at Talbotville for two nights, and did a day hike to Bulltown on Wednesday. The rain was amazing, it started an hour after we left camp and continued for the next 8 hours or so. We got back to camp to find we'd had around 16-18mm rainfall!! We spent the rest of the night drying out kids clothing and sleeping gear around the campfire.🙁
Thursday we broke camp and hiked nearly all the way back to the van and pitched camp on the side of the track right near one of the river crossings. We managed to get the kids to bed early (they didn't need too much encouragement) but we were woken again around 11.15pm when a bunch of drunken rednecks came through in 3 4x4's and a two-wheel-drive ute, which promptly got stuck in the river crossing, prompting a barage of insults back and forth amongst the group. They finally managed to rescue the ute and the bike trailer it was towing and continued on to again leave us in peace. The kids found it most entertaining. :o:P
Friday we hiked the last 700m to the van (the kids thought we had a few kms to go 😀) and after getting everything in the van, headed to Stratford for some well-deserved hamburgers and chips.:thumb
