- Hot and only going to getting hotter. Headed to halls gap, Grampians for bush camping and merriment. 12:03:27, 2011-12-31
- Deep in the Grampians. Wearher is great. Camping under the stars. The serenity. 13:12:47, 2012-01-01
- Slept under the stars. First tentless camp. Dreamt that I was asleep at home dreaming of being asleep under the stars. Loop the loop. 13:16:23, 2012-01-01
- Restocked and reloaded. Back into the bush we go. 14:14:36, 2012-01-01
- Another night under the stars in the Grampians. Must head bush more this year. Serenity now. 00:20:35, 2012-01-02
