grub-town: day 2: autumn camp

Eurobin Falls Picnic Area, Mt Buffalo National Park

To burn off calories from day 1's BBQ dinner, we spent our time until sunset up in Mt Buffalo National Park (part of the Australian and Victorian alps). I thought we were going to walk on the nature trails but we ended up driving most of it!! But in the very end, we managed to drive up to the plateau and hike up 1.5 km to The Horn (the peak of Mt Buffalo).

We spent a while at Eurobins Falls Picnic Area finishing lunch and taking photographs of the waterfall. I forgot to take my tripod, but I think I got some decent shots of the waterfall.

Bent's Lookout, Elevation 1300m; Mt Buffalo National Park

Before heading up to The Horn, we stopped at Bent's Lookout to see if we could spot any hang gliders. Unfortunately there wasn't otherwise there would be a photograph. It was also chillingly cold up there! From this point, one could walk to Lake Catani (I think it was around 1.2km), but we drove there instead.

The Chalet (currently closed), Elevation 1337m; Mt Buffalo National Park

The Chalet is a historic guest house, however it is currently closed. According to fellow camper L, who was also my driver for camp said that The Chalet is always saved at last minute when bush fires strike at Mt Buffalo.

To me, the view of the alps was pretty much the same, so I didn't take much shots from The Horn. The hike was pretty fun, though it was a bit hard to breathe (I was probably out of breath too :P)

For the photos at The Horn, I was able to borrow a plastic filter which helps darken the sky (not the ones at the plateau though).
