Buckety Plain (pictured), Raspberry Hill and Langfords West are a winning free camp trifecta in the Alpine National Park – east of Falls Creek.

I normally use chicken mince but pork mince works well, too. It can be made ahead of time and reheated when you want it!  Ingredients 1 packet dried shitake mushrooms
