Camping
Camping is one of my favourite activities to "get away from it all".
As a child, our family would often go camping. Every year at Easter we
would pack up our camping gear and travel to whereever the Easter orienteering
carnival was held. We would camp with many other orienteers in a school grounds
or any other area where everybody gathered.
One of my favourite areas to camp is around the Scenic Rim
area, especially around Mt Barney at Flanagans Reserve or Yellow Pinch.
Another great area to camp, which we have been to recently is a private
camp ground near Lake Moogerah. The main thing that all these area have
in common is great places to swim !.
It was not only at Easter that
we went camping. I suppose I became a real camping enthusiast was while
I was a Girl Guide. Our unit would go on camp at least twice a year and
we always had a great time. I even attended an international camp. We also
have been camping during other school holidays and long weekends. My father
is interested in fossicking and I also enjoy the thrill of finding a pretty
(and sometimes valuable) stone. We have camped in the central Queensland
gem fields at the Willows, gold country near Nanango, and in the Fossicker's
Way area in Northern New South Wales - all in aid of finding those illusive
rocks !
