On the river's edge
Picnic tables, a communal firepit and birdlife along the bank. The light here at dusk does most of the work.
Charlton · Central Victoria · On the Avoca River
Wake up by the river.

Evenings on the Avoca
Pull up a chair at the river firepit
When the sun drops behind the old river red gums, the communal firepit down on the bank is where the day winds down — swap stories with fellow travellers, toast a marshmallow with the kids, and watch the light do its thing over the water.
It’s one of the favourite corners of the park, and it’s there for everyone staying with us — lit subject to seasonal fire restrictions.
