The Monkey In Me: Camping at Breezes Lake Eildon...Gouldburn River

3-6/1/2025

We spent 2 nights at Breezes in Lake Eildon and had the best time! I love the outdoors n wished I had starting camping ages ago!

Day One

=======

Checked in...set up our tents and chilled by the river...water is ice cold and I could only tippy toe in the water. Managed to sit in it but could not last long. It was absolutely ice cold. Unbelievable! I felt so defeated I could not swim in it.

Lillie prepped dinner and we had guests join us. Curry chicken was delish and we had the fire 🔥 going later and we cooked sweet potatoes, corn and marshmallows in the campfire.

Drinking started when the stars came out. We sat around the fire and just enjoyed the silence and flickering flames.

Breakfast

Mucking Around

Toe Dippers

There is only 5 of us on this trip so it was easy to cater our meals. Our mornings we had cooked breakfast washed down by coffee/tea with a variety of eggs..bacon..mushrooms..brocolinni etc. Better than some BnB.

Day 2

=====

We were invited over the river to Annette's for BBQ lunch in their beautiful backyard which backs onto the river.

Definitely a lunch with beautiful views.

John and Marilyn Lambert drove up for the day and joined us at Annette's.

Was hoping for lovely sunsets or sun rises but this trip I was quite disappointed.

Good Morning

Forgot to mention everyone crashed for a nap when we were at Annette's.

After the recharge, we went back to camp to start dinner.

Tonight, it was roast pork! Yes LG can make roast pork even without an oven!

We had noddles with it and it was so yummy.

So we have been walking up and down the river and still tip toeing around... but when we went further down and found a spot that was more calm... I just went in and tried to swim. It was so so cold and after 4 strokes...I was frozen and had to admit defeat but at least I got my whole body wet!!!
