Had our first trip away as a family to a DPI site in the Otways. Must say it was interesting, DH is still a sod to pack with, but we had most of the gear that we needed to do basic camping.

I am completely confused about what people camp for. I thought it was about getting away from it all, getting some peace and quiet, moving at a slower space. Being with nature, blah, blah. Well the site we went to was full people with a tonne of noisy gadgets. Mini bikes, dirt bikes all hooning around the site. Loud boom boxes. One site even had massive speakers with flashing lights Please, please, please tell me that we were just unlucky and came across a camp site of tools and that most camp sites are peaceful. Otherwise if they are all like this, then I am going to veto camping all together!

Oh and Tinks, DH downloaded that app last night
