Gentle Annie Caravan Park, Whitifield. Vic



Had arranged to go camping with some friends who had decided that the weather was going to be too bad and decided to pull out of the weekend and the caravan park we originally booked into were concerned that they also would be flooded and unable to hold our group. 

I called around and found Gentle annie CP and 3 other couples  showed interest in attending so it was Gentle annie for the weekend, forecast was not too bad we thought so we were off for the weekend.

Arrived at the CP to showers all afternoon when Garrick and his family arrived and they set up camp in the rain tried to get the fire going was successful until the rain came back and made sitting around the fire a non-event, think we were all in bed by 8pm.

Rained all night, wind was enough to move the camper around a little woke in the morning noticing the weather forecast for the rest of the day and the Sat was more rain, a quick decision to bite the bullet and head home called the others letting them know we were heading home as the weather was terrible. Linda noticed that the water level had to closer to the camper 

Packed up in the wet and off home, now will spend the next 2 days drying out everything, new trip Mel Cup weekend hope the weather gods are on our side next time


The 1 positive for them tip is we had never camped or done a day trip out that way a place we will defiantly explore in the coming months “the king valley” region 




This photo shows the water level 18hrs after the next picture, both are the same "fire pit" area
