Camped at Greens Lake
Permalink  

We took our new van for a couple of nights to Greens Lake after reading so much about it on this forum . We absolutely loved it ! Didn't know the place existed prior to reading about it here. A few other vans were there so not too isolated for our first free camp. Just lovely , quiet and bird life plentiful. Will be back for sure. We're learning so much from this forum Thanks all.

Good choice of first time free camp for sure. Greens was my first free camp as well many moons ago and have spent many nights under the moon there since. Great memories and friendships formed there as well. If you get a chance October through March try and get back as many members of this forum visit Greens during those months.

Keep Safe out there.

We'll be back for sure, together with our telescope. I can imagine how wonderful the stars would be there on a clear warm night.

Voyager - stars are amazing, and Greens has wonderful sunsets and moonrises - even has it's own staircase to the moon!

 Yes, and it is closer than Qld for those from Victoria.  But most of them are in Qld.

Not the best quality photo, taken on the iPad - a good camera would do it justice.

 I'm sure Voyager was talking about the Staircase to the moon, not Victorians. lol

Was the ground wet at Greens Voyager00 ? I am considering a couple of night there from Wednesday 9th. I am not too concerned about the cold but the ground can get very slippery if wet at Greens. Tossing up between Greens and Aysons...

 I discovered that if I used the little faces from my iPad, they came up as numbers and gobblydegook, - not compatible with the forums webpage or whatever.

The ground was dry in most places , we had a lovely spot right on the lake . It was a little windy but well worth it. So glad we found out about it on this site and will certainly return . Thought we may do a bit of free camping at Tocumwal this week , seems to be a lovely place on the river beach area.
