Camperdown rail trail

 It's a 2 hour drive for us to Camperdown. Last time we started this ride in the town but only explored the volcanoes area. This time we rode directly to the Naroghid train siding. There is a photo there of a woman waiting for the train in 1919.  The ride is straight forward enough except for a bridge that is down and lots of mud and slush.  We detoured into Cobden to the bakery and bought some egg and lettuce sandwiches. Our lunch spot was Lake Elingamite.  There was a campground there with a single table which we used for lunch. But we saved our piccolos for down on the boat ramp. The return was slightly uphill as train gradients always go.  The ride was 30km a b it more than I was thinking. We drove to the botanic gardens for birthday fruit cake and piccolos.  There is another van park way on top with onsite vans we could have used. But I have made a note to try them another time.
