Sheepyard Flat, Howqua Historic Site, Victoria

We had another wonderful time at our annual camp at Sheepyard Flat in the Howqua Hills area. Great company, lovely walks, nice chats around the fire, delicious meals  and refreshing swims in the beautiful Howqua River. What more could you ask for!

The beautiful Yarra Valley.

Pit stop in Yea at the old railway station.

First time we have managed to get a pie in Yarck. Well worth it.

The evidence of the rest fires around Alexander.

Lake Eildon is down to 46% very noticeable at the bridge near Bonnie Doon.

We set up near our usual spot and enjoyed cooking and chatting around the camp fire.

Although we had a bit of rain we still went for our walks.

Beautiful Tunnel Bend.

Reminders of the gold mining era.

Misty morning.

The walk along the river to Fry’s Hut is always a favourite. We were surprised to see NO ONE camping there.

We enjoyed picking the blackberries along the track .. haven’t been sprayed yet.

The Howqua River was lovely and refreshing for our daily ‘swim’.

Spotted lots of birds and some came visiting too. (Also spotted 2 dingoes).

Before we knew it, it was time to head back home..
