Tuesday, January 31, 2006. Where did I go over the holidays. Firstly, camping in Croajingalong National Park, (Google Earth 37 46'42.81"S149 19'27.41"E). Point Hicks was Captain Cook's first sighting of the east coast of Australia in 1770. Camping with 3 12 year old boys is not for the faint hearted! Next, bushwalking at Three Mile Dam. It was built by the Chinese in 1882 to provide water for gold sluicing. (35 53'17.72"S148 26'57.29"E). Snowgums near 3 mile dam. Mt Bogong is Victoria's highest mountain.
