was that one little ‘hairy’ spot over a
rock ledge but I got through it with
a bit of mentoring and a few stern
words to the kids to give me some
space! HA!

DAY 1
We arrived at about lunch time and
got a spot near the river – set up,
positioned the solar panel and got
taken on a tour from the Reid family
(@reidsontheroad)! After travelling
on our own for 13months, it really is
special to see people you know when
you pull into a camp!
DAY 2
We were up at the crack of dawn so
mandarins for breakfast on the way
to Zebedee springs! We arrived at
7:05am and had the place ALMOST
to ourselves – such a special place –
so lovely and warm and the bottom
pools are deep enough for the kids to
do some underwater swimming!
DAY 3
Two words! AMALIA GORGE! A bit
of a rocky walk in – we conquered
it in thongs with no major issues.
Sensible people would probable
wear decent shoes though – there
The middle pool was fantastic – so
fantastic we took the advice of the
people we passed and didn’t bother
going any further! Seriously though
pack a lunch – we easily spent a few
hours here and again almost had it
to ourselves with only a few couples
walking back through from the top!
The water is so refreshing, lots of
fish swimming around and plenty of
ledges for the kids to jump off!
DAY 4
Well! I feel like we did nothing!
‘We’ being me! Everyone else did
washing, bike riding, fishing, school
work, dishes etc and some of the
other travelling kids even helped
Rosie with her journal and reader!
I sat on the camp chair and watched
the kids and chaperoned them to the
toilet 50 times! Sometimes you just
need a home day, right? And it’s a
cool spot just to just sloth around at!
My day was so ‘slothy’ I didn’t even
take any pictures!
WAS IT WORTH IT?
DID SHE LOVE IT?
