Hi,
I have been talked into camping at a caravan park over
Easter in our pop top,at
Echuca, with lots of
well meaning friends, instead of Oz tenting in some secluded spot.
This pleases my wife, who says I owe here big time as she endured 600km of fire
trails in high country earlier this year.
So I'm doing the right thing and compromissing...however I will need to break out I'm sure.
I have not been able to get any good maps of the
Echuca area.
Once I am there local stores will have detailed maps no doubt, but I'm looking for some feed back on the area... to enjoy being out in the 4wd and discovering points of interest.
Will appreciate any feed back.
Regards
Joe

Hi Joe
I live next to the gunbower
state forest "Cohuna" . There is plenty of
camp sites on the river just out of Cohuna .You could
camp on the
Murray River or
Camp on the Gunbower creek. I prefer the creek as the water level is up to the bank so water is not a problem. Also there is less thru traffic to stir up the dust. The Caravan park is on the Creek also, phone 03 54562 562 ask for Gary. There is a map of the Gunbower
state forest which list all the tracks etc. For fishing spots and info Cohuna fishing and camping mob 0419353973 ask for Normy.Also you can travel form Cohuna to Barham thru the bush ,this way you get to 4wd and SWMBO can have a good meal and play the pokies if thats what you like.

Joe,
I know you have probably already worked out that
Echuca is one of the busiest tourist
places in Victoria, and that's not even at
Easter, I live reasonably close to it.
I am not going to give you any tips of
places to go, but I will say to you. "Have a bloody good look while you are there, coz after a week there in amongst all the tourists you won't want to go back for a while". Great place though.
Good Luck, Good Camping and Safe & Happy 4WDing.
