Mill Valley Ranch is a Christian Youth Camp in Tynong North, 70 km South East of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. ==History== Established by Arthur and Bonnie Bartlett in 1967, upon the invitation of the Weatherheads, a sawmilling family who pioneered the area. The idea of an inter-denominational Christian camp for young people, designed as a western village, the campsite began small. Along with Arthur and Bonnie, a builder and a cook joined the team to develop the campsite. The name "Mill Valley Ranch" was chosen to reflect the main business of the area, which was sawmilling, the campsite's location, the valley, and the nature of the campsite, being a horse riding ranch. On 10 June 1967, Arthur and Bonnie with their 3 young children Donald, Debbie & Deanna came to live in the valley. Eric Watts the Cook & Warren the builder and Joy Carroll with Robert (2) and newly born Peter also came to make the team that started Mill Valley Ranch. Wagon wheels and chassis were donated from all over Gippsland. Four Sleeping Wagons and a Dining Wagon which sat 40 were built; a Chuck Wagon of the First World War was restored as a Kitchen. On 6 January 1969 the first camp was held with 28 Campers and 10 Staff. The cost was just $24. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mill Valley Ranch」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
