Blackwood Bound

 We took the van to Blackwood for a few days.  A tiny rather tired park but quiet and with good amenities.

And there were friendly neighbours.

The township is tiny, surrounded by forest and on the edge of the Lerderderg State Park.

The cemetery was huge and well maintained and spoke of the areas history when it was at the centre of the gold mining boom.

There is evident concern about fire in the area.  Even with the recent wet season the forests are dry so the lookout towers are maintained.
