We camped at Redbank gorge this week when we had a few days off. We were going to camp at Ormiston gorge but the campsite was quite bad and full. We drove out to Redbank which is only 15 minutes further along the West Macs.
There are two campsites to choose from, the woodland campsite on the flats and the ridgetop campsite which overlooks the flats and hills. We chose a nice private spot at the ridgetop campsite and only shared the whole place with one other couple.
The weather was great for our 2 days off, with unseasonably warm weather and blue skies. There was some controlled burning being done nearby though so there was a fair bit of smoke at times, but mostly on the horizon.
We were once again surrounded by an army of mice once night fell and easily saw 40-50 mice at a time. They were in our shoes, running over our feet and trying to climb the sides of the tent.
We had a relaxing afternoon, reading, snoozing and visiting Redbank gorge itself. Next day after a fine brekkie we packed up and drove back to Ormiston Gorge to check out the gorge and do some walking and swimming.
