GO ON, TAKE A HIKE! Ali Webb @houseofwebb
Oh, for a life to be surrounded by nature, bird calls and crisp morning dew, starting the day with a stretch in a sunbeam after a cosy campervan slumber! Whilst camp-life and van-life might not be for everyone, with its outside bathroom facilities, showerless atmosphere, smoky hair and ‘camp pants’, there’s something to be said about the sense of adventure and outdoor lifestyle can offer and the endless opportunities for discovery once you strip back down to nature. Waking up in the heart of Central Victoria is a delight as you crawl out of a tent flap or stretch your legs delicately as you emerge from the womb of a campervan. A shuffle of the leftover coals from the night before and a gentle prod of a newly kindled fire draws upon childhood memories. When did we stop camping and start flying around the world and staying in resorts? We have parked our sweet Toyota re-fitted van in the dress circle position alongside the Loddon River at the Warburtons Bridge Camping Ground. I’ve brought my original jaffle iron along, ready to prepare a molten baked-bean parcel which has already blistered my lips in anticipation. Our van is just down the road from the popular picnic mecca of Vaughan Springs, known for its Big Red Knob lookout, fresh spring water pump and a massive 10-metre-long metal slide (warning: do not slide down this on a scorching hot summer day while wearing a skirt).
