Yarrangobilly

In our last camping trip, we stayed at Yarrangobilly Village camp ground. It was such a beautiful place and this is one of our favourite camp sites. The crystal clear running water of Yarrangobilly River becomes main attraction for us and it was a very important water resource during our stay there. The river has a perfect depth for Ari and Jamie to have a play. They went up and down the stream with their small rubber boats. When they got bored with it, they built a little dam made of the rocks they collected from the bottom of the river. The river is a good place for fishing too. Steven caught a few trout, but pity we couldn't have them on our dinner plates. They were under size so he let them back in the water.







Yarrangobilly Caves, which is about 20 minutes away from our camp site was a good place to visit too. There are several caves in the area, but we only did self guided tour in South Glory Cave. It has very spectacular stalactite and stalagmite formation. We all loved being inside the cave. At the beginning, Jamie was feeling a little scared, but we convinced him that there is no monster that would eat him.

When we walked toward the cave, we saw this snake.

Having lunch

After we had our lunch, we walked down the fairly steep track toward the thermal pool. The water temperature is 27°C all year round. The boys had a great time swimming there, while I was worrying how to get Jamie get back up the hill to the car park. But I was wrong, because didn't even once he whined about the steep hill.

We enjoyed bushwalking too. Both Jamie and Ari were so strong and got a good stamina for their age.
