Camp Coorong

I had the opportunity to visit Ana at Camp Coorong recently. Camp Coorong is a beautiful camp on the Gippsland Lakes near Bairnsdale in Victoria. I was there with Rob Gunston, who is a professional photographer working with us to capture some photos we can use to promote the camp experience.

The reason we were there on the day was to meet with Wanda Braybrook and Kelly Faldo, who had organised a camp for women on behalf of the Aboriginal Family Violence Prevention & Legal Service. We were there for day one and were taken into the pink room they had set up - and I mean pink. Day one was pamper day and so there were massages, hair care, manicures and other female stuff that I don't quite understand - but they were certainly enjoying it. (The photo is of Wanda, me, Ana and Kelly)

For day two they had planned a self defence class and some adventure activities like the high ropes course and the flying fox.

Thank you to all the women on the camp for allowing us to visit and to take photos - they made us feel very welcome. We will post some more photos on the ACA website soon.

I might also add that I had possibly the best scone I have ever had for morning tea cooked by Ana's wonderful cook Jean - thanks Jean
