so I'd say camping was a success. COLD, but a success. It was Tinyest's first ever camping trip and he took it super well, but I will admit I think the mrs is right, it'll be a LOT easier when he can walk. But still, good to get him started early! I also brought a friend who I've been begging to go for ages, she wasnt a huge fan of camping but gave it a go and says she had a great time and wants to go again, so thats awesome.
I know I say this every time, but Wilson's Prom is just SO damn pretty. If your sitting here being like "man I haven't camped in ages" or "Man, I'm not really into camping" I beg of you to give it a go. I'm prepared to bet its physically impossible to have a bad time down there.
See, the thing here is, when they start to walk they almost always default to walking towards something dangerous as a first option...so yeah, it's easier, but you'll also get loads of lunging forward practice just as you've sat down or have just started doing something else... ha
haha no absolutely aware of that. i watched a dude do laps with a VB can in his hand 2 feet behind his toddler stumbling around. I aspire to that parent, just with a better drink choice.
I did think of you yesterday, I came home and started looking at camper trailers again cause my garage is FULL of wet tent/gazebo shit
Did you hike in ? Is there a good fairly accessible (for someone who doesn't want to hike for miles on their own) spot?
Nah drove into tidal river with the kid. You just park on your site.
Cool. Ta
I still haven't been to Willys prom. It's one of the few places left in Vic I haven't been to yet, excluding the mountains in the east
Get on it! Honestly like the most pretty place in the state.
I can't drive and don't have a car
there are options https://blog.travelvictoria.com.au/2017/03/16/how-to-get-to-wilsons-promontory-from-melbourne/
There's no PT there, and I'm sure as shit not paying $90 for a taxi there
I'll make it one day
