Bass Valley camp site (Vic)


We have been to the gas tank people in Frankston & they can't do the removal of big tank & replacement with smaller tank until 10/12.

Didn't stay at Tooradin, Jules - $10 unpowered.  So we are now at a camp ground just south of a place called Poowong (how's that for a name).  Will stay here a few days & then probably move to Alloonah near Berwick for a week.  All keep safe on the roads.

Hi Alice and Keith - sorry about Tooradin - Yeoeleven (John) has stayed at Bass Valley - really enjoyed it there I think. Don't know Alloonah - is it Akoonah you mean - they have a good market at Berwick on Sundays at Akoonah park.

I got my Coach registered at Warragul, Nice drive down from here,

Its a fairly big town, Lots of things to see there,

Try the Blue Info Office, They have lots of brochures on the local scene to see while your there,

What was the cost of the tank removal and getting it set up for the certificates for the new gas installation,

I have my five tanks in my coach now, I extended the bottom rails so they also go under the Battery box and give that support as well, The Battery box was falling out of the Coach,
I lined it all with 3 mm Steel sheet, Its now fire proof as well,

$4-40 Return, thats a good deal, Is that a Pensioner fare,

There is a bit of a animal farm or Zoo, right in the middle of Poowong, Just off the main road, I was on my Bike at the time I was there, So I didnt get a good look at it,

The back roads south and east of Poowong are Motor Bike roads, Not really suitable for a 36 foot Coach, You will be pushing to get it around some of the corners down there,

I ride all the roads down there on my Motor Bike, My Coach, No way, It wont get around the corners, Hahahahaha

All the main roads are good tho, Nice and Wide,

Noojee is very Nice, Park on the Creek, Come up from the Princess Hiway,

Dont come from Powelltown or Willow Grove road past the Blue Rock Dam, Thats another nice spot to camp, Blue Rock Dam, On Willow Grove road, Looks like a Free Camp, Dont know, Never been in it, They have boating on it, I just ride past it a lot,
