Part I was the first leg of 9 day 4WD camping trip that was taken from Sydney, along the coast which ended in the Victorian Desert (Over 4000kms).
The first stop was at a remote free camping spot– a 1 night stay at Tin Mines Campground at Woomargama National Park located in the South West Slopes region of southern NSW.

The next day, we packed up and settled at Lake Eildon - Candlebark Campground, Fraser Block – being a popular time during school holidays, a camp site was pre-booked with facilities and a great spot by the lake side.

Driving along the great Ocean Road, we settled at the Great Otway National Park – easy 4WD tracks and a number of free camping grounds. A popular tourist destination and because of this, we were lucky to find a camp site to pitch the tent early afternoon. With our tent pitched for two nights, we explored the Otways and wildlife – with a small walk to witness Hopetoun Falls and then drove some tracks.
During our stay at the Great Otway National Park, we drove about 1.5 hours to experience the Twelve Apostles - limestone stacks off the shore of the Port Campbell National Park.We walked the small walkway available along with a scenic helicopter ride giving us the best of all views.

After an amazing experience with the Apostles we headed back to campsite and prepared for the next leg of our short summer adventure!
Most campsite information is available online - please keep in mind that some areas such as Woomargama NP are remote.
