Our awesome camping spot at the Skippers<\/a> Township Campsite<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

It’s still early, the dead trees are an invasive species that will eventually be completely eradicated<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

The Skippers Township Amenity Area with the iconic school<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

The school’s classroom<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

If I remember correctly then this is where the teacher used to live<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Only empty bottles here, no full ones hidden in the cabinets<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Lots of old stuff here<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

And a lot to read about the history of this place and all the gold mining<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Heaps of old photos<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Unfortunately this burnt<\/a> down a few years ago<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

No idea what this used to be but it has sure been here a long time<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Anyway, Rachel is up, time for breakfast<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

We decided to go on a walk to Londonderry Terrace, this photo is just beyond Pleasant Creek and looking back towards the campsite<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

The Sainsburys Huts here, well maintained and with amazing views, unfortunately all locked, somebody’s batch I guess?<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Just a bummer that the otherwise great landscape here on Pleasant Creek Terrace…<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

…is in places still littered with remnants of the gold mining<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Just north of Stony Creek<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Looking west, part of the Richardson Mountains<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Here you can clearly see how they ruined the landscape, just for some gold<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Later in the day we did the Bullendale<\/a> Track<\/a>, it was so hot that I happily took a refreshing dive in the Skippers Creek<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Rachel getting ready to do the same<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

The Bullendale Track was absolutely wonderful! The water had a very pleasant temperature and we could just walk through it<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Just again a shame about all this stuff<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

No idea, what I was looking at here, the sky?<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

A waterfall, artificial but still nice enough for a photo<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Above the waterfall the track continues<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

It just goes on and on<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

We made it up to Davidson’s Gully and then turned around<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Teva’s were the perfect footwear for this trip<\/p><\/div>\n
