Violet Town / Pet-Friendly Camping Victoria / Easy Camp Cooking / Southern Aurora

In this episode, we travel to Violet Town, in Victoria. We stayed in our campervan at Honeysuckle Caravan Village, where we give you a tour. We take you into town and show you around and things you can do when visiting.

We show you some quick and easy camping meals that you can make on the road when camping.

VIolet Town is a small community where the past is still evident. Major Thomas Mitchell, Surveyor-General of New South Wales, passed through the area in 1836 on his Australia Felix expedition. He noted several streams and chains of ponds and one, where native violets grew, was called Violet Ponds. That site was surveyed in 1838 as a site for a township, alongside the now-called Honeysuckle Creek.

Southern Aurora
Violet Town was the scene of the tragic Southern Aurora train crash on the morning of 7 February 1969, on the edge of Violet Town. The people of Violet Town tended to the injured and passengers when the Southern Aurora train plowed into a goods train. The locals were the first to the scene before any CFA alarm could sound.
