 Australia 2007 (Victoria trip)

	Yackandandah, Victoria [June 11th to 12th 2007]
This was the first place where we camped, we were only really passing through on our way further south. It was a bit on the chilly side and we woke in the morning to find the tent covered in a layer of icy frost. The entire town of Yackandandah itself is heritage listed and has an early pioneer feel to it.
