Sovereign Bend Camp Koondrook VIC
May 24–25 in Australia ⋅ ☀️ 17 °C
As we're driving along - I've been researching on Wiki Camps and found this camping spot we'll give a try.
We arrive back into Victoria, coming into a town called Koondrook. On quick drive through - looks a nice, neat town. We continue to follow our GPS to find this camp - which is only 4km from Koondrook. We have to go over quite a narrow wooden bridge to get here. Once we get here - we like the camp area - very nice beside the river. The roads here would be no good to get out on if there is rain - but the forecast says rain's a day or so away (if it's correct!) - so we're happy stay. Go for a walk about to check we've got a good spot - we have, so we get our van in a position we like and settle in. We're leaving the ute hitched as we'll only stay tonight. Now lunchtime, so I make us some open toasties and a cuppa. After this - we sit outside and enjoy our peaceful spot (across the river in NSW there's activity we can't see, but can hear wood cutting and machinery). All good - just such a lovely setting and the weather is great - mild and no wind. Roger has lit our campfire, so we are enjoying the ambience and warmth. Get a call from Tegan, which Robert joins in too - so beaut to have a catch up chat. Now relax before tea. Tea tonight, Roger cooks up pork steaks in a pan on the campfire, and has boiled vegetables happening on the stove top in the caravan. I get inspired by the campfire - and decide to have a go at making some flatbread - simple recipe, Greek yoghurt and SR flour. I half the recipe to make 2. 1st one a mess, Rog ate most of that one - 2nd one much better, I enjoyed it. Next time I'll make them before our meal. We continue to sit out at the fire - it's a beauty (Roger found and put a big log on it) - and the night is so clear and calm. We eventually decide to pack up our chairs and head inside to tidy up etc. Roger has his shower while I wash the dishes. We tidy up, now relaxing before bed.
25/05/25 Sunday Another nice sleep in, I get up before Roger at 8am and go for a run. I get back before 9.30am. I have my breakfast, then a shower. Roger has done the dishes and tidied up, so we both make sure all is ready to move on out. Leave this lovely camping spot just after 10am.Read more
