Last week, from Monday to Friday, we took our time driving from Victoria to home. It was the first week back to school which meant everywhere was a lot less busy. It was a perfect week, just Robin and me and the girls, with a little bit of everything - camping, hotels, hot weather, rainy days and lots and lots of swimming.
First night was at Bright, a beautiful town in the mountains of Victoria. The Ovens River running through town has been set up perfectly for swimming - there is a diving board and slippery dip into the river, and rocks have been arranged down the river creating a flowing path for people to ride on floating things down the river.
Alongside the river are picnic areas, bike tracks and a water park.
From Bright we drove the scenic route through the Alpine National Park (Victoria) into the Kosciuszko National Park (NSW) to our campground at Swampy Plains River.
We stayed here two nights, such a beautiful spot. No crowds, not too many flies, river temperature wasn't too cold, Robin got some fishing in, we had a thunderstorm and the tent didn't leak - what more could you want!!

From here we continued north, staying a night in Canberra and visiting Questacon (the science museum) and then we had a Chinese dinner in Goulburn before making the last run for home.

| We got out of the car at this high pass with the wind blowing and the temperature much colder than we had been used to. |
