Summer again - 4WD’n

Summer is here (officially December 1st) so time to get the camping gear out again. We already had 2 short trips in spring which were a bit rainy, but this time things looked good.

On Thursday right after work we left for Goulburn where we stayed overnight in a motel, the next morning it was off to Braidwood to meet up with our fellow campers. After a coffee, some pastries and the last use of the toilet facilities we went off into Deua National Park. As temperatures raised to 41°C we followed a challenging track for about 6 hours to the Bendethera campsite.  We found a nice spot near the river to set up camp.

Saturday we did a bushwalk to the Bendethera caves, still a very warm day but with a cool-down stop in the caves it was bearable. Sunday was time to pack up and dive back home!
