| Our Camp on the "bend" |
Gasdens Bend State Forrest is just outside Robinvale in Victoria
and is the first camp site we had stayed on the Murray that was new to us and completely
isolated from any other campers. Our good friends Steve and Carol from Morwell in south of Victoria had decided on
the spur of the moment to pack up their van and travel 620Km to stay with us for
a few nights.

After meeting in Robinvale we headed out into the bush
tracks winding narrowly thru the red river gum forest to the river. It’s always
a little daunting winding thru the forest on a rutted track not having any idea
what you will find at the end. But as luck would have it we found ourselves camped
on a clean sandbar well away from those dangerous red gums (infamous for
dropping large branches on campers) close to the water and not a single burr of
stone.

Apart from one couple parked some distance away we had the
place to ourselves – camping Heaven.
Daily dips in the river, followed by lazy afternoons, before drinks and the evening board game and dinner around the
fire became the daily grind.
What a great days and nights we had on the “bend”.
