When the opportunity to go camping for a few days came up, I didn't hesitate. Camping beside the Howqua River in the Alpine National Park was an absolute joy. The weather was perfect and the water was clean and clear and wonderful to swim in. We were visited daily by a range of parrots and other bird species, lizards and snakes in the morning and frogs by night. Once again, my love for the outdoors is reaffirmed!
