stress level here at greens Lake
Permalink  

Yep, I don't think my stress level can take much more of it here at Greens Lake. It is real hard work thinking, what will I do next, OH I know, more of what I did yesterday, Not much at all. There is of course, breakfast sitting outside in the sun, lunch by the pool, well lake anyway, happy hour with great people, dinner by the pool, ooops, sorry lake then of course chatting around a camp fire with great people, few enough already. Maybe I will just hang around for another week at least just to see if things improve. biggrinbiggrinbiggrinbiggrinbiggrinbiggrinbiggrinbiggrin

I am so glad Doug is trying out the pool for us all. Please Doug don't buckle under the pressure because I am sure that there are many more pools, lakes, rivers, and puddles that will need your attention to detail and finite reporting. Glad you are all having a wonderful time up there, great spot and great people.

Keep enjoying, and remember to check around the campsites, just never know how far those Wombats may burrow.

Is Greens Lake a free camping area ? I believe it's close to Shepparton. How far ? How long does it take to drive to the nearest Town/City, drinking water and dump point ? Any restriction on length of stay ?

 Hi big Gorilla - if you type Greens Lake into the "search" at the top - heaps of stuff will come up re the Lake - anyway it is a huge area, at the moment there are about three topics on it - in "general" and "solos" - with photos - length of stay - till you are tired of it - Girgarre is about 18k away - shop, shower, water and dump point there - or Shep is about 50k, in the area is Rochester, Elmore and Corrop - the area is huge - can get a bit busy on weekends with locals coming out with boats, but they are pretty good, mostly families - there are loos, and water for washing - probably some of the GN members will be there till Easter or thereabouts

Thank you for that information. How about swimming in the lake ?  Is the fishing good there or not ?

People have been known to swim and people have caught fish. Green's is different things to different people.

I saw a body floating around out there tonight, he seemed to be enjoying himself. Goes by the name of yeoeleven.
Dougwe said he was going out for a swim too but later to cool off before bed, he said.
Seriously there were heaps out in the water today.

No, he managed to get himself out. I'm sure he thoroughly enjoyed his swim.

With all the swimmers out there we'll probably get grey water down the channel.

It's certainly a dump point for grey nomads, any more and entry tickets will have to be sold at the Corop store,, wink

 

The closest toilet dump point is at Girgarre behind the hall, pipes a bit small to loose anyone down tho.
