KOG.Kilkivan 15/4/2011-17/4/2011

We arrived at Rob & Jewels (Kedron owners) property at Kilkivan on the Friday ,there was already about 12 Kedrons on site. A few people we had not seen for a while,and some new faces. After we set up we did the usual walk around and greet and catch up with the “gossip” Friday night we spent a quite night with Rosco  & Chris, whilst the rest of the group went to the Kilkivan Bowls Club for tea. On Sat. morning there was a mystery drive which ended up at the old Copper mine chimney and remains of smelter.It was part of Kilkivans history dating back to the 1800s.We then found a great spot on the nearby creek and had a sausage sizzle BBQ for lunch,kindly supplied by Rob & Jewel via the Kilkivan butchers shop.

After a slow drive back to where we were camped, we started preparing for tea. The idea being every couple would prepare a meal for tea either using Camp oven and fire or anyway they wanted. Once the fire was going it was interesting to watch different methods of Camp Oven cooking, anything from roasts to stews to scones. When all was ready at about 6pm we all put our meals on the back or Robs trayback ute and then it was instant “Buffet”. The selection of food was wonderful and certainly showed some hidden talents. Our contributions was Hearty Beef & Beer casserole and Dry marinated spicy chicken wings. Off course all washed down with several fine wines and a superb Muscat (thanks for sharing Debbie) We finally retired to bed about 11pm. (late for us) whilst some hardy soles played on for a while. A thoroughly enjoyable night was had by all. Good company, good food and good wine .What more could you ask for?

Sunday morning saw a few sore heads,but the main thing everybody had a great time Sat. night.

Quiet a few packed up and left Sunday as they had to  go back to work on Monday.(Bugger!!).Sunday was a quite day for the few of us that were left.So we decided to go down to the Kilkivan Markets for Breakfast They are a very small local market held every Sunday consisting off about 5 stalls( I did say it was small)We ordered break fast from the only food stall and waited and waited and waited.along with everybody else. In the end after about an hour we gave up, got our money back and went to The Left Bank Cafe in town and had a lovely brekky in front of us about 10 mins. after arrival.

On Monday we headed of to Standown Park for the Easter/Anzac long weekend.
