Apologies in advance if this can been done to the death ...however.

Recently, while enjoying the Victorian High Country, I pulled into a Caravan Park in Bright and asked for a spot as away from other campers as it's possible to get. I required no power & didn't mind a bit of a walk to the 'facilities'.

Found a nice enough site and between some shade trees and was set-up in no time. Soon afterwards a lady approached to explain that her young girl was teething and she apologised for what she feared may be a 4am alarm bell for other campers. Fair enough & thnaks for the warning. At least I'll know what that is.

What she failed to explain was that their mob like to watch telly until around 11pm. So while I was sitting back sipping coffee & port, breathing in that beautiful night air and watching the stars, not too far away were our 'neighbours' and they were sitting outside their caravan watching TV.

To us it seemed kind of weird. But maybe we're the odd ones. Maybe camping should be about TV, internet & what ever else one normally gets up to at home.

What do others think?
