  • Camping at Mt. Buffalo

    Mount Buffalo is one of the snow cap mountains located about 300-400km north of Melbourne. I camped there for a night, leaving the next morning. But it was a very enjoyable time up there despite it’s briefness. A handful of us went – Joshua Khoo, Eric Ting, Joel Gn, Rong and myself.

    It was a very last minute camping trip for me. I only heard about it the day before they were scheduled to go up. They’ve planned it for some time and I was just gate crashing. I was due to leave for Sydney on the second day of camp, so I drove there to enable myself to make an early exit. The others stayed for another day.

    Mt. Buffalo was beautiful. It so happened that it snowed the day before we arrived. So when we got there we had nice and soft snow to play with.. soft enough to make a few snow balls to throw around. The same time the next day the snow was more like ice.. therefore not as fun.

    I love camping. It’s just so relaxing not having to worry about anything. Just hanging out in the outdoors… and slack. the place itself was cool.. literally. When we got there it was 2′c! The surprising thing is.. we didn’t even feel it’s cold.

    When it became dark, it was another story. -5′c was the read. CRAZY! We sat around the camp fire at night for a long time. I’d say a good 4-5 hours. Our make shift heater. All we needed to do was leave the perimeter to freeze our butts of again.. or wait for a cold breeze. We talked about alot of things….. confidential though.

    Jesus walked on water.. so pans and spoons can too. Lol. Nah, it’s on ice.

    The drive back was a long, but relaxing one. The view driving down Buffalo was breath taking. Stopped to take a few shots. It’s scene’s like these which makes the long drives worthwhile. So beautiful is God’s creation.

    I got home at 4pm, due to leave Southern Cross Station for Sydney at 7pm. Holiday’s were well under away!
