Modified trip now, see post 7...
As posted else where I've started this tread to keep it in one place![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Campsite....Mt Franlin, @ 9Km North of Daylesford on the Midland Hwy.
You camp under the poplar trees in the base of the volcano, drop toilets,no water,walking track to the tree'd in lookout.
We would need to find fire wood if you want a camp fire though.
Room for the children to play ball games ect.(Seen kids on bikes too).
Arive any time Friday (or by 9:00Am Sat. for the tour).
All welcome to come and go as it suits, 1,2or 3 nights,or the days only -your call![Big Grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Saturday trip:- Leave 9:30AM...
Back roads to Lyonville/Bullarto/Blue Mountain/Blackwood areas.
Taking in the local mineral springs, historic railway,look outs, 2 graveyards dating back to 1880's, gold diggings/mine sites around Blackwood ect..
##I have led this trip with another forum in reverse so happy to do it this way.
Sunday trip:-
Veg out at the camp site OR..
Explore Daylesford/Hepburn on your own (or we could do a small group).
Daylesford Spa Country Railway have a market each Sunday(exc. catasrofic fire days) at the station, train trips avalable also.
Shoping/browsing in Daylesford...antiques, new age, book barns ect.,botanic garden also if your into trees.
There is also the lakes and a winery or 2 in the area.
Come back via Hepburn Springs and don't forget to climb the look out.
Oh and The Chocolate Mill
Monday:- Break camp when ready.
No water at camp ground so self suficient camping required.
All services in Daylesford, fuel,food,grog,latte's,ect..
You'll need sturdy foot wear for the Sat. tour as some walking involved.
Tour is Easy to Medium. Aiming to be back at camp by @4PM.
I see it as a camping weekend for families with a join in or not feel for all trips(need a camp "baby sitter").
Come for 3 nights or just 1 or 2.
Subject to numbers here(earth) I'll consider opening it up to the other forum if it's a go.
Cheers Kyle.
