Gday...

Sorry ... I won't  be at Greens Lake, but have you ever been to Aysons Reserve on the Campaspe River?

It is closer to Elmore about 20km west of Greens Lake. I have heard it is a good spot as well. Pinched the attached photo from the web.

Cheers - John

It is a good spot, we stayed a while last summer. Toilets available no showers. Lots of room. Water available at Rochester in the little park, turn left at roundabout.

We stayed at Aysons Reserve for two weeks over easter and was parked right on the river and there is drinking water in the tank beside the big shed.
The butcher opposite mitre 10 sells local meat and it tastes good.

Have to agree with you Jimbo, Can't beat Greens Lake. Once you have been there won't want to go back to Aysons Reserve.
Have fun on the highway Jimbo, may see you out there.
