The High Country... day one of our road trip

2008.04.23
The tree right outside our tent door - I loved the way the light broke through it

The campsite at Bright, littered with autumn leaves

Our spot next to Morses Creek

A back road in Bright

Yep, I liked the trees!

I have no idea what this plant is but I thought it was unusual

Morses Creek

I love the reflection of the green trees in this shot

Another resident of Bright... in the tree from the first shot in this set... about 50 odd of these gorgeous little things would feed in the tree in the morning and the evening...

A female Australian King Parrot digging in to dinner :)

The sun is setting... and I loved this little group of three and their shadows...

We arrived in Bright a around 4pm in the afternoon... we took our time driving up there, stopping off at a few places on the way to stretch our legs and to grab a bite to eat.

We only had an hour to pitch the tent before the sun set for the day, so once it was up I had time for a few quick pictures and a bit of a wander about the campsite...

Honestly, the drive up there really surprised me - I was 14 and a schoolgirl on year 9 camp when I was last in this region of Victoria, and I'd not remembered how beautiful it was...

Emma What a start to your trip! I came back to the start of your trip, so I could go through each day as if you did...

The trees are indeed so beautiful and I love the autumn colours.

ambersunsets We tend to notice the beauty around us more as we get older.
The set is superb!!
Numbers 1, 4, and 12 are my favorites!

oldbabe Oh, I love camping. You have a beautiful spot by the water. Do they lay out the campsites there or do you just get to camp where you want?
I like the friendly residents shot!
