Lakeside SOLO CAMPING | Delatite Arm Bushland | Campfire cooking | FJ Cruiser
Join me as I camp on the shores of Lake Eildon at the Delatite Arm Bushland Reserve. This campsite is surrounded by mountains with several 4wd and motorbike tracks in the area.
I rolled into camp on Friday afternoon with my Camper Trailer. Campfire cooking, no wind but drizzle was the order of the weekend. Solo camping is very relaxing.

      G'day Loius, the chains are definitely crossed. I have always done that. It actually works too. Many moons ago when we were doing a photosgoot in tne Flinders a certain trailer company had a hitch break...the chains caught it. I'm definitely a fan of the cross method.

    Awesome vid Rich, thank you. My small lapdog (45kg Rottie) will bunk in the swag with me but I'm going to look at getting a crate cover like you have for Scout. I didn't see any vans in the background there, do you think the track would allow a mid-sized van (Expanda Outback, single axle) to get in easy enough?

    • @OffroadTouringLife
      @OffroadTouringLife Před 2 měsíci

      Gday Luke, you could get a van into there at the time of this trip. The track was in great condition. The campground itself does close seasonally in winter. But sheepyard flat and other spots along the river are open. The main "Howqua Teack" can become impassable for trailers in winter, so it is best check conditions prior to towing in there. The covet works well. The crate was slid under my camp table, too. Thanks for watching
