Our "Maiden Voyage" in February 2010 was to Nerum Creek Bush Retreat just out of Woodford. We did a one night "shake down" trial to see how hard the camper was to set up, how long it would take us and what else we needed to get. Funnily enough it happened to be a VERY wet weekend...
It poured all night (the tent sprung a couple of small leaks and the rain was sooo loud on the canvas) we ate breakfast with an inch of water steadily running thru our annex area and then we had to pack up quickly (in the rain) as the creek was rising fast...
By the time we were ready to leave the water was too deep and running way too fast. It looked like we might have to set up again and spend another night (on rations!!!) Luckily the water came down fast and by about 5pm it was only 20cm deep. I was freaking out about crossing but after watching dozens of cars go thru, I let Noel persuade me that it was safe to cross.
Surprisingly, we had a good time even with the rain, and I can even laugh about it now!
PS - We have made several trips to Nerum Creek Bush Retreat, it is a great place for a family camping trip - and you can even take your dog!
