Before we left Sydney back in August 2017, we applied as volunteer campground host with Parks Victoria. We finally received confirmation on the role end November, where we will be based in Lake Eildon National Park for 3 weeks.

| Walking up Estate Spur at Lake Eildon |
We arrived at Lake Eildon on 10/1/2018. Our assignment is to do a walk around in the morning and another in the afternoon to check that camp sites have been paid and provide information when asked. We have printed copies of visitor guides and other materials set up on the table for campers. Its relatively simple in exchange for free camping at the national park.

There are more than 200 camping sites in total at Lake Eildon NP. We were based at Lakeside Campground. Other campgrounds are Candlebark, about 3km away from Lakeside, Devil's Cove, 3.5km away and Jerusalem Bay(21km). We were to cover Lakeside and Candlebark in the first two weeks as its not the busy period. Come Australia Day long weekend, there will be another host at Candlebark.
We got to meet a lot of people, mostly Victorians who are into their water sports. Lake Eildon is a popular spot for jet skiing, water skiing and fishing as it has multiple boat ramps. There are also a few boat houses cruising around the lake.
