After 2 weeks of relatively quiet period at the campground, we were told to be prepared for one of the busiest times of the year, Australia Day. Advanced bookings suggested a full house with over sixty sites occupied from Thursday to Sunday.
In the run-up to the long weekend, we were also hit with a week long of high 30s temperature coupled with extreme humidity. Unfortunately for us, our Podd gets the afternoon sun, which is also the hottest time. Temperatures were still in high 20s around 8pm, which meant hot nights for us. TJ kept cool with a wet towel as blanket with the fan on.
While it was too hot for anything strenuous, we did managed to take our kayaks out for a couple of hours on the lake and do a hike at Cathedral Ranges. We left early and walked up to Cathedral Peak via Neds Saddle. This was to be our last activity in the area as we remained at the campground to assist the hundreds of campers descending for Australia Day 2018!

We left Lake Eildon with another new experience as campground host and getting to know some of the dedicated and passionate rangers.
