Greater Bendigo National Park - Notley Campground

21 -22 November 2024

We knew we couldn’t get to Deniliquin from Portland, in one day, as it was well into the morning when we made the decision to change our plans and head there. We weren’t sure which way we would travel so headed first towards Port Fairy where we stopped for morning tea in a park by the water. From there we set the GPS and followed the chosen route until we stopped for lunch at a park in Ellerslie. While there we made the decision to head to a campground in Greater Bendigo National Park that we had considered in the past.

Greater Bendigo NP is very close to Bendigo

It was getting quite late when we arrived at Notley Campground (also known as Whipstick). It was a hot day so we were glad to be setting up as the temperature was starting to drop slightly. The campground wasn’t as nice as we had anticipated but it was sufficient for one night. There were quite a few people there, including some that looked to be long term residents. There was some bush around, but all the shady spots were already taken when we arrived.

It was a quiet night and because we hadn’t set up the awning or disconnected the car, we were ready to set off quite early in the morning.
