Back from our holidays

Well we are now back from our hol­i­days! We spent a while camp­ing around the Upper Hunter Val­ley in New South Wales, try­ing to dodge the thun­der storms (our dog Tian goes MAD dur­ing thun­der storms), learn­ing how to cook on a camp fire, hav­ing a go at fish­ing (didn’t catch any­thing though) and gen­er­ally enjoy­ing get­ting away from it all. We love to take our two Goldies Sophie and Tian camp­ing with us, we even wrote an arti­cle in Paws and Claws mag­a­zine about camp­ing with dogs, and they love it too. Well except for the thunder.

Being a pho­tog­ra­pher I got plenty of pho­tos, hope you enjoy the ones below. Maybe they can give you some ideas about where you can go camp­ing with your dogs. If you have a favourite dog friendly camp spot let us know!

Photo info – clock­wise from top;

  • - Beck, Tian and Sophie on the beach at Corindi. Corindi Beach Hol­i­day Park is right on the beach, the park and beach are both dog friendly and def­i­nitely a great place to spend a few days.
  • - Camp fire cook­ing at Fer­n­dale Park. Another dog friendly camp site, right on the edge of the beau­ti­ful Bar­ring­ton Tops National Park.
  • - On the road again!
  • - Ken fish­ing (well dan­gling a rod) at Lake Glen­bawn. Lake Glen­bawn is one of the won­der­ful New South Wales State Parks. You really feel like you are away from it all, but with a hot shower just over the hill. Our favourite spot!
  • - Sun­set at Lake Glenbawn
  • - Sun­set at Copeton Waters State Park. Where I took the photo from can be under water when the dam is full, its cur­rently at only 8% capacity.
  • - Thun­der storm at Copeton Waters. Luck­ily it passed us by, it was throw­ing huge hail­stones which wouldn’t have been good for the tent…
  • - Lake Glenbawn
  • - Corindi Beach, rain­bow between the storms
  • - Field behind Corindi Beach
  • - Rain­bow at Corindi Beach
  • - Lake Glenbawn
  • - Tian at Lake Glenbawn
  • - Tent set up at Corindi Beach
  • - Beck read­ing with her new Kin­dle by Lake Glenbawn

    Fan­tas­tic pho­tos Ken! You really are tal­ented and I say that as a (not too biased) sis­ter! ;)
