I do love the June long weekend, a good chance to escape before winter really sets in.
We headed down to Edenhope, about 2 hours from here, for the long weekend. Having never been there it was nice to explore somewhere different. On the way there we passed Mt Arapiles, a favourite with the rock climbers. We will have to do quite a bit of exploring around this mountain as it looks spectacular. Natimuk is only 10km from there and looks a lovely spot near the lake to base from. The lake started filling last year and is beautiful now.
Edenhope is a lovely quiet town and the caravan park is right beside Lake Wallace. After a quick setup we set off to explore the town and take a drive out to Baileys Rocks. This outcrop of green granite rocks is only one of two in the world apparently? The other is in Canada. The boulders are huge and the area is quite eerie with no birds to hear. We spent quite a bit of time there exploring amongst the boulders. Bethany was in awe of the size of them and commented that some looked like huge marbles.
On Sunday we headed across the border into South Australia to visit the Naracoorte Caves. Hubby and I had been before but Bethany hadn’t. The first stop was the huge statue out the front and the obligatory photo with her arm in its mouth. 
Once inside she was in awe of the setup there. The thunder & lightning was very lifelike and the bush sounds combined with the dramatic lighting and moving creatures certainly set the atmosphere. We thoroughly enjoyed it all over again.
All in all a great weekend and we look forward to seeing more around the area.
While mum dad and I were there I even went in the small and cramped tunnel about 5 or 6 times it was fun. I loved the weekend
