I should've written a few words about each place. The ruins are the Adelong Falls Gold Mill Ruins built around 1850s. Some Scottish guys build a Reefer Battery to crush rock containing gold. this way they extracted around 9000 kg of gold. Two more shots of the ruins:

Mate, we must have nearly bumped into each other, I was down there too. Those big churches look like Bendigo? I ended up over in the high country chasing some snow, did the Mansfield, Woods Point, Walhalla road. Very scenic and the rivers were running wild, I had to turn around and find another route a few times as it wasn't safe to cross. I thought you were going west? |

I was, but the rain spooked me. I was planning a lot of outback dirt roads and didn't fancy getting stranded there for a week or two. Did you catch the snow blizzard? I was on the Murry that night. The wind was unbelievable, but my awning with the flimsy sidewall held well. I am now thinking to make three sturdier zipping sidewalls for quick attaching to wherever the windy side is. Very useful. 2011 Freelander 2 SD4 SE |

No I was too late for that cold snap. I didn't even need a jumper for most of my trip...winter in Australia lol
A lookout near Aberfeldy. A family was missing in the area while I was there. They had gone bush camping and were overdue by 4 days. It turns out they were hopelessly bogged and waiting for someone to help but nobody was in the area. It all ended ok. 
Some shots of Walhalla
This is Danny's Lookout at Mt Hotham....I couldn't see much. I've posted a picture of this lookout before during summer and you can see for miles. Not today though.
Camped by the Murrumbidgee River. I like my current setup, it's waterproof and only takes 5 minutes to setup and take down. I have a stretcher I use if the ground is crap and the swag goes on the stretcher.
Maybe you can visit these places and take decent pictures for us?

Hey Mike, where is the cot, not comfortable any more? And what is the bag on the roof rack? 2011 Freelander 2 SD4 SE |

The cot has worn out from too much use, the insect screens have holes in them and there are a few rips. Also it wasn't very waterproof as it was that light nylon stuff, plus it nearly got blown over on Fraser a few times. I use the swag now because the whole bedding rolls up with it, it is made of tougher canvas that is very waterproof and I can use it on the ground or on a stretcher. That is the stretcher on the roof rack, I leave it up there unless the ground is rocky, muddy or too uneven. |
