Well Head Free Camp, Kerang, Victoria

Sunday August 28th saw us leave Gol Gol and Mildura behind as we continued our trek East along the Murray River. We traveled through Euston to Swan Hills where we stopped to have a stretch and see the huge Cod. From there we traveled through some lovely lake country arriving at Kerang, Victoria in early afternoon.

We found a free camp there called Well Head. It is run by a lovely couple, Rex and Beth, at the back of their property. They are having quite a struggle with their local council/neighbors to keep it open currently. The camp consists of a large open field with a portaloo. The Portaloo was clean and maintained at the owners cost. They also have a large fire pit area with wood supplied. They are not currently not taking donations but hopefully they will be allowed to in the future, when council comes on board. The owners came down for a visit later in the afternoon and brought half a dozen fresh eggs with them. They are planning to travel full time in the future and hope to find other generous hosts as they prefer to free camp. We spent an enjoyable time discussing each others travel adventures. Best of luck to both of them. We enjoyed a cool quiet night in the tranquil setting below.
