Days 48 - Day 53 Thursday 28th March - Tuesday 2nd April; Location Berry Showgrounds

Thursday 28th March
We decided that today we would explore the local beaches. We headed off for Shoalhaven Heads. Whilst driving over to the coast we passed by the hill that was deverstated by that mini tornado. What destruction.

When we arrived at Shoalhaven Heads James got to do a geocache and I got to explore the beach a bit with Rena. It is obvious that the destruction to the beaches that happened in Qld due to the recent bad weather also has hit the beaches down here too..

We then headed up the coast to Gerroa to do a bit of fossil hunting (geocaching as well), the day was a bit misserable and windy but we still got to enjoy the headland and rocks. Even if Rena didnt. James got his geocaching fix and I got a walk down memory lane. Went to these same rocks in high school for an excursion hunting for fossils back then too.

At this stage Rena was getting a bit grumpy so we headed for Gerringong and the bakery to pick up some bread for lunch. We headed down to Werri beach and had lunch. Love this area.

After lunch we headed for the cemetary as I have a few relatives burried here, as they were early settlers to the area. Unfortunately we didnt find them, so back in the car and up to Kiama we headed. Back to the post office and no our mail has still not arrived yet. Bought my darrel lea licorice fix and back to car, then off to the little blow hole and got some pics. And you guessed it, this time my Pentax camera the battery went flat. :)

After our sight seeing we headed to wollies so I could get some seafood for Good Friday. Madness, the car park was jam packed but we snagged a street park and I ran across the road, it was even more madness inside wollies, anyway, I got prawns for Good Friday as they didnt have any fresh Australian Fish that was under $30 a kilo and back to the car.

We had the slight traffic jam between Kiama and Gerringong which you would expect for the Thursday afternoon before Easter.

Tomorrows destination will depend upon the weather.

Rena at Shoalhaven Heads Beach was a tad windy

Friday 29th March
Today was a walk down memory lane for me, we headed south for St Georges Basin to show James where I lived when I was a kid.
Basin View, and pulled up at the boat ramp. Still just as beautiful but there was that cold breeze blowing across the basin. Brought back memories of waiting for the bus in winter and freezing my bottom off in the mornings.
Back in the car and the drive around Basin View trying to find mum and dads old house. Not sure if it just isnt there anymore or I couldnt remember it, but there are alot of new houses around there.
Off to St Georges Basin and down Talyann Point Rod and found mum and dads old place there. Still the same. The to Sanctuary Point, James was a bit, off there it was, but we went back to Leumeah St and my family home was still there surrounded by new houses, a few of the original houses remained but there was alot of new houses.

Off to Greville Aveune and Nana and Grandpops house has been leveled and a new mansion is now in its place. It goes the whole length of the block. Huge. Down to Palm Beach and it is still the same. Was too cold to hop in the water much to Rena's dissapointment.

We then headed for Vincentia wow hasnt this place changed, headed for nudist beach, found it (well thats what mum use to call it) and Rena went for a paddle, was too cold for me to hop in. (Definately acclimatised to Qld now)

Off to Huskinson and had lunch at a park, we went for a walk along the beach and Rena sure enough needed to go to the toilet so off we go for a long walk, only toilet near where we were was up near the Husky Pub. Guess what is there, a big kids playground, so eventually James found us there.

James being a great dad that he is, when Rena climbed to the top he was straight up to help her down if she needed it. Rena being stubborn and well tried to make it all the way down on her own.

By this time it was 3.30 pm and walked back to the car then drove around the the Husky RSL and parked there and went for a walk along the breakwall to see if the pool was still there and it is, but now has a big pool fence around it, the canon is now gorn and replaced with a kids playground, and you guessed it, Rena tried it out.

Back in the car and the trip back to Berry. What a full on beautiful day.

Nana and Grandpops Pine Tree it is still there :)

Saturday 30th March
Today we decided that we would held to Nowra and see if we could get the parts to make our own Thermal Blanket and get some much needed track pants (was a cold night again last night).

We pulled in to Kmart and I think everyone in Nowra decided to visit that particular shopping centre at the same time as us. Luckily we snagged a parking spot. Inside it was madness. We headed for Kmart and got the track pants and a new jumper for James. Then got the hell out of there.

Off to spotlight and got parts to make the thermal blanket. Then off to South Nowra to Bunnings. Unfortunately Bunnings at South Nowra no longer stock the Air-Cell and it is special order only (damn should have got it in Brissie).

Oh well back in car and off to BCF and Joyce Mayne. Got what we were after, by this time we were feeling a bit peckish (3.30pm) and headed to the Shoalhaven River on the north side near the golf course and had a bite to eat. We got a spot opposite the cliffs and it was beautiful (if not cold the wind brrrr).

Back to Berry a bit dissapointed that we couldnt get the air-cell will have to try the hardware shop on Tuesday on our way south.

Sunday 31st March
Todays destination Jervis Bay.
We called in to Hymes Beach and I think everyone else decided to do the same as us, it was packed. We couldnt get a parking spot anywhere near Hymes Beach and got one near Chinamans Beach. Went for a walk and it started to rain so headed back to the car, James did a little bit of geocaching but came back empty handed/
We then headed for Jervis Bay National Park, paid our $11 entrance fee and headed up to the end of the road. 

Day 47 Wednesday 27th March 2013; Location Killalea State Park Shellharbour

What a disappointment, awoke to find that the heavy smog, so no scenery today. Not at least until this smog clears.

Online to BCF and order a new Coleman Hot Water System as our one after 8 years of faithful service died whilst we were at Flat Rock. All paid for and ready to pick up from their Warrawong shop. Bonus, love online shopping, in stock, and available for pick up today BONUS.

After using the camp kitchen to wash up (breakfast and last night dinner dishes as couldnt stand the midgies any longer last night) packed up the camper and headed to Warrawong to pick up the HWS. Wow havent things changed and grown around here. Last time I was at Shellharbour alot of these houses it was just farms and paddocks.

At BCF and picked up a new camp chair for James, as his broke a while back and he has been making do with it, a new windbreak for the camper and the HWS.

We hit the road south again, and head for Kiama. WOW another town that has exploded in size. We found the laundromat and went and filled the machines, the man was very helpful, and across the road was wollies, so whilst the machines were doing their thing I headed over and got the hop hop shopping done as well as some essentials we needed for Easter.

Back over to the laundromat and fed the dryers with money whilst James headed down to the Post Office to see if our mail had arrived yet.

When he got back went to car got our some ice creams so we enjoyed them whilst waiting for the dryers to do their stuff. Well one dryer worked and the other one didnt, it finished 8 mins early. Put the same money in both, told the guy and it was huh not my problem, so I put the wet washing in a bag and we headed for Berry Showground to try our luck for a campsite.

We arrived at the showgrounds to very friendly hosts, not a problem for an unpowered site, if we wanted to stay over Easter needed to let them know ASAP.

Back and set up camper for overnight, then whilst having a cuppa decided that we would base our camp here and do day trips. So back to office and pay up until Easter Tuesday.

Time to hang out clothes and do the usual boring stuff.

Day 44 - 46 Sunday 24th - Tuesday 26th March 2013; Location Flat Rock Camping Area (Near O'Connor)

Another wonderful find. Not all that flat except at the bottom but we found one flat enough spot for us half way up the hill so we decided over breakfast that we would stay here for a couple of days, so after breakfast, out came the annex roof and we set up to stay for a couple of days.

Spent the morning hand washing the clothes that the stupid machine at the laundromat decided to make dirtier than they originally were. (Soaked them overnight in nappysan, amazing stuff).

Set up the shower, and we all had tubs, then lunch and time to relax. Sometimes the time just flies by.

Rena is happy as overnight a caravan pulled up next to us and they have 3 kids (one 3 yr old girl) and are also travelling around Australia but in the opposite direction to us. When they pulled out their toys Rena eyes nearly popped out of her head and couldnt wait to go play with her new found friends and their toys. YAY!!! you could almost hear Rena saying it out loud.

Definately might think about buying a spacebox and getting Rena some more toys to play with.

We also decided that we are going to try and get or make a tropical roof for the camper, even with very light very old flys over the top it makes a huge difference inside the camper.

Monday 25th March
Today after much thought, and the fact that we are not prepared for really cold nights that we would come back another time and do Jenolan and Wombeyan Caves in a seperate trip when Rena is older than 7 years old (This is way she will enjoy it more and we can save up and do more than one cave tour per site)

We have decided that we will head for the coast, although James is a bit concerned as to whether we will get a site due to Easter, but we will give it a go as both Rena and I dont even have a pair of track pants to keep us warm at night and we need an extra blanket for our bed, we will head for the coast and try our luck. Also be able to visit the shops then and at least get a pair of track pants each.

It was nice to have enough water to have showers when ever we wanted. It really makes you appreciate what you have at home when you are free camping.

Tuesday 26th March
Today we were rudely interrupted from our sleep in by the mowers, but we can't complain they left us alone until we packed up camp, unfortunately for our neighbours with the WA number plates they made sure that they were awake and out of bed. :)

Anyway I am getting a little excited, todays destination the South Coast. I am really looking forward to showing James around the coast.

After going through Oberon we headed south, James was going to go via Goulburn, but I said look at the map, the Wombeyan Caves Road is half the distance, surely it wont take that much extra time :)
Well I was wrong, I had white knuckles at spots and I was really glad that James was driving, good for future reference for when we come and do the caves.

Beautiful scenery, the lookout was spectacular, and the tunnel WOW our forebearers did wonderful achievements with pick and shovel and bit of tnt.

After the caves road we headed for Bowral and got a gas bottle refil and then headed for the coast. the GPS sent us the backway, so we got to see the back roads.

James got to experience Macquarie Pass. :) At one point I thought he had collected a car going the other way, was on the really really tight turn near the top.

We didnt get to see much scenery in the distance due to the smog, but what we did see was spectacular.

Our destination for the night was at Shellharbour, wow havent things changed around here.

When we finally found our campsite, we set up camp and I decided to have a shower as not long after we set up camp 3 bus loads of school kids turned up for a school camp. So off I headed to make sure I got a hot shower.

Back to camp and trying to cook dinner in the dark with lots of wind and even more midgies and mozzies. Not a happy camper tonight.

Day 43 Saturday 23rd March 2013, Location: Macquarie Woods (Vittoria State Forest) Near Bathurst

Set the alarm for 7am, it went off, I turned over turned it off and thought hmmm to early to get up I am on holidays and preceeded to go back to sleep for another hour. We might make it to the farmers market (although James wasnt really interested)

After a leisurely breakfast we packed up the camper and headed for Bathurst, but first we looked up on the net for a laundromat in Bathurst, as you guessed it washing day. In to town and visited the Information Bay (which had the information map taken down so no info available) topped up the water tank and jerries). Then off to explore Bathurst.

After driving around for nearly an hour trying to find a laundromat, we gave up and headed out to Mount Panorama (James had a slight smile on his face at this stage) and James did a hot lap (sticking to the speed limit of course) with the camper trailer in tow, I took lots of photos of the lap, so will add some of them. James was as happy as a pig in mud. Would hate to see him do it in a Skyline, think some speed limits would be broken.

It is totally different in person than watching it on tv, would love to go around here myself in a Nissan Skyline GTR :) when there were no speed limit :) Gosh I would be in heaven, buggar James doing the hot lap. (Rev Head Me NEVER :) :) )

Well we then went in to the National Motor Racing Museum and James took one photo and the camera went flat. Bugger!!!! Leaston there is a whole section devoted to Motor Cycles, eat your heart out mate :) :) hehe even have Wayne Gardeners winning motor cycle and leathers on display. Not to mention a lot more.

Well after about 1 1/2 hours and miss 4 yr old complaining we decided that maybe we should head off.

We headed for the Australian Fossils & Mineral Museum, which if you are in Bathurst and you have kids or your are interested in fossils & minerals it is BRILLIANT!!!! My mum would be in heaven, it is hard to believe that it is just one mans collection. The replica of the T-Rex skeletan was great. Rena loved it.

We then headed for a laundromat that the kind ladies at the museum told us about, and no they are no in the yellow pages, well I wont advertise the laundromat on here as there machines were useless and one machine the clothes came out dirtier than when they went in.

So as James was taking Rena back to the car the long way to avoid going past a church pre school playground (she is mad about playgrounds and wants to play in everyone we pass) I headed for coles to buy some lunch and supplies and then headed to the car (up the hill mind you carrying heavy groceries)

In the car and we decided to not head for Jenolan Caves as we were told that we probably wouldnt get our camper down the steep and windy road, and headed for Flat Rock campground as I now needed to dry all the clothes I had just washed. We used 1 dryer but about 1 1/2 hours the clothes were still not dry so gave up.

What a nice little drive it was to Flat Rock Reserve. A really nice spot to camp, not that many flat spots, but for a free camp, had a reasonably new toilet and a bbq and was right be the river.

We set up camp for an overnight visit and had a reasonably early night.

Day 39 - Day 42 Monday 18th - Friday 22nd March; Location Ponto Falls (Near Wellington)

Today no generators, just the sound of cockatoes again. We awoke at 7.30am to the sound of birds and the river running we are camped right next to it.

After breakfast I spent 3 + hours washing clothes, no laundromat in Wellington so hand washing required.

After all the washing made lunch and then had a relax for about 30 mins. James has spent the morning trying to charge the mobile phones for some unknown reason they have all decided that the chargers dont want to work today.

I then decided to start cooking the stew for dinner, but the wind picked up and after an hour of trying to cook and keep the stove from going out I gave up and decided to wait until later.

Anyway the pot of stew is now cooked and time for an afternoon stroll. We will probably stay here for a couple of days before going to visit the caves. Such a beautiful spot.

Thursday 21st March 2013 - were still here and loving it, almost have the place to ourselves now, only 3 other vans here. Might head off to see the Wellington Caves tomorrow but we are in no rush. It is so nice here. (other than the flies)

Our camp right next to the river

Friday 22nd March - today is our last full day at Ponto Falls, after packing up camp we headed for Wellington Caves.

I still didnt get to stop in town and have a look through the park, but one year I will get there. Another town where they dont really cater for people with caravans or campers in tow. (Seems to be a common occurance)

When we got to the caves, it was half an hour until the next tour so we had a drink, I had a caramel milkshake mmm mmm was yummy. Rena had a play on the you guessed it the playground.

The Phosphate Mine tour was really informative and interesting, we then went on the Cathederal Cave Tour, also really enjoyable.

Dont forget to visit the visitor information centre as well, as it has alot of really cool stuff in it too.

We then went across the road after a quick bite to eat to the Japanese garden, and up to the Caves turnoff sculptures.

We then went via the tourist road and drove past Stuart Town and then set up camp at Macquarie Woods near Bathurst.

As storms were forming all around us we decided a quick dinner and inside the camper was the best option, not to mention that it was blowing a gale.

Early to bed (again).

Day 38 - Sunday 17th March; Location Macs Reserve Naromine

Well today we slept in until 8.30am no generators to wake us up early and not that many cockatoes either.

We packed up camp with leisure and went for a walk along the river bank before heading back in to Dubbo for the restock.

We headed to Coles and did our restock, visiting the butcher and Target and getting all on our shopping list.

As it was now 2 pm we decided to look for the laundromat to wash the clothes but the one we went to wasnt open on Sundays so headed for the petrol station and decided that we would head for Wellington and wash the clothes there. hopefully a town of that size would have one.

We did the short drive to Wellington then on to the Caves Rest Area to camp for the night, but upon arrival at the rest area decided that it really wasnt a good place to camp for the night, and as we saw the sign for Ponto Falls just north of Wellington decided to head there to check it out and look to camp there for the night.

When we arrived at Ponto Falls we both decided straight away that it was a nice spot to camp for a couple of days, so we set up to stay for a couple of days right next to the Macquarie River again. (We seem to be following this river lately)

When I get to upload the photos you will see why we decided to stay here a couple of days.

Unpack and stow most of the groceries and restack the fridge then get an easy toasted cheese sandwich for dinner was really yummy. Sometimes the easiest meals are the nicest.

Our neighbours (about 300 meters away) walked past and said we were missing our sigh "The Hilton". We like our little camper suits us well and obviously others like it to.

Tonight we didnt go to bed until 9pm seemed to go so quickly today, lots of places to explore with Rena and James.

Day 37 Saturday 16th March; Location Terramungamine Reserve (North Dubbo)

Today saw us awoken not by the sounds of birds but bloody grey nomads and their &*)# generators.

I suppose 7.30am isnt too bad, but when your body clock is still on Queensland time that means it is 6.30am so it is a bit early.

Bloody dueling generators just what you need early in the morning, I suppose that they had a good reason for running them until after 10pm at night and again from 7.30am in the morning, must have been something really important on their tv's to watch.

Anyway shopping list in hand, ready for supermarket, quick shop at Rivers to get new shoes, then off to chemist but not before visiting the farmers market in Dubbo, picked up some nice apples, pumpkins and some made Jam and Caramel Slice mmm mmm.

Since we have decided to do the side trip today we put off heading off to Coles until tomorrow and have headed for the geological centre of NSW, which is near Tottenham (well 42 km west).

We got to see some really nice scenery on the way, the signposting from Tottenham was non existant, luckily I had looked up the instructions on how to get there the night before on the net.

We all circumnavigated the centre of NSW, took the obligatory photos and then had lunch.

Back in the car and back to Narromine to camp for the night at Macs Reserve which is beside the Macquarie River.

We arrived at the river and did a bit of a look around and found a nice spot to camp, unfortunately the locals use it as a dumping ground, but even with that in consideration it was still a very nice spot to camp, just had to make sure you kept your shoes on (glass everywhere).

On dark we made a hasty retreat in to the camper and there was a lot of flying ants tonight, so some reading was done and a very relaxing night inside the camper.

Tomorrow back to Dubbo to do the restock and refuel and head down to Wellington to go visit the caves.

Day 26 - Day 36 Tuesday 5th March - Friday 15th March; Location Lightning Ridge

Well we have been spending a couple of days with my little sister Fiona, catching up and James helping around her camp.

My dad was given an old toyota landcruiser by my niece and James had a look at it and got it running again, we then rang my dad to let him know that it was running and what he needed to buy to get it registered etc.

Well stone the crows, that afternoon my dad rings back and says we will be there tomorrow.

The next day sure enough Mum and Dad arrive with their cat and my cat Sam (good to see the sooty cat again) and James and dad start working on his cruiser.

On the Saturday morning we headed off to the local markets, scored 2 bargains for Fiona, two bessermer pots for $12. Scored well, can now cook at her place and the spuds come up real nice. :) 

When they went and tried to get it registered and bugger two little things they pull it up on, so James went back to Fionas camp trying to fix it to get it passed, and I am sitting in town at one of Fionas friends house using her washing maching and power for the laptop, (thanks Deb) stupid stick is working during the day but wont work at night, but still wont let me upload photos.

Our last day in town saw us doing the tourist thing, down to the Australia Opal Centre to have a little bow peep, then off to John Murray to see if he has any new art works, now got to save us $350 for my next piece of his art work, we then went out to look at the castle, but it was shut so just looked around the outside. We then went down to the visitor centre and did some specking and let Rena play in the playground, she made an instant friend Amelia who is also 4 and travelling around australia with her mum and dad and grandparents. They are from WA.

Rena could have played all day if we had of let her, but back to Fionas for lunch and a bit of a relax.

After we had packed up the camper, dad and James checked the lights and after 20 mins and 2 cold cuppas they found that we had a bad earth and all fixed ready to hit the road again with working brake lights on the trailer.

Back to Dubbo, then on to Wellington Caves, Jenolan Caves and then to the Shoalhaven after Gerringong. Be good to get to the coast again and cooler weather.

p.s. after arriving in Dubbo and setting up camp at the reserve again, we decided that we were going to do a side track out to the geological centre of NSW tomorrow. We are this close, worth taking the side trip.

Day 25 Monday 4th March; Location Midstate Motor Park, Dubbo

Today we packed up a dry camper YAY!!!!!

After we packed it up I had a shower, nice and clean, dry and ready to hit the road.

Today we are off to Lightning Ridge.

The roads were not to good, didnt see to many other caravans or campers on the road, in fact we only saw 2, so not that many going the other way.

We stopped at a roadside rest area and shared our lunch with the flies, so quickly back in the car and ate our lunch minus the flies.

Arrived at the ridge and set up the camper and got to meet my new grand niece Chloe.

Reasonably early night tonight, didnt travel far today but was tired after our jam packed weekend in Dubbo.

Day 24 Sunday 3rd March; Location Midstate Motor Park Dubbo

Today I was up early and off to the laundry, grrr doesnt open until 8am, grrrr

Oh well ring our friends to let them know we are going to be late, and will meet them at the zoo.

Time for breakfast while I wait for the laundry to be opened, then up and wash clothes, dress Miss Rena and get her ready for the day.

Another phone call as we are leaving and we decide as we have missed the first talk of the day (that we also missed yesterday) that we would go to the shops on the way and meet our friends there (the girls had money to burn :) )

Got Rena her own umberella James a new pair of shoes. I then quickly went to the butchers to check out the meat. Got some really nice rump for a bbq dinner and some salad, dinner sorted.

Girls were happy they got their bargains and we were off to the zoo, today we were driving and parking then walking in to were we had missed the talks.

Lunch time we went to the playground and let Rena have a good play then back into the zoo and finish the talks.

Love the Zoo, I think the was that there have the animals on display in brilliant and all the keepers show that they really care for and have passion for their animals.

Lots of photos and yeah I know where are they, you can thank Telstra NOT for that. Does not like me uploading photos to this blog site but will try again when we get to a major town again.

Back to the van park and get ready for the BBQ after another nice long hot shower. Ahhhh. Washing folded and put away. Onions cut and over to the camp kitchen for the bbq, lots of laugh and good company.

When it was time for the girls to go, Rena cried for half an hour when she realised that the girls were going home.

Took a while to get Rena to sleep tonight. Tomorrow pack up and restock then we are heading off to Lighting Ridge to see my sister Fiona and my nieces new baby :)

Day 23 Saturday 2nd March; Location Midstate Motor Park, Dubbo

Awoke at 7.30am and got ready for the zoo after a nice long shower. Ahhh!!!

We decided since it was a 2 day pass for the zoo that we would park the cars and walk around the zoo today.

Miss 4 year old had her 2 older cousins to dote over her so I actually got to take some photos today and didnt spend the day chasing after Rena.

Lunch we bought 1/2 way around the zoo, great value, 3 lunches, 2 cakes and 1 drink $26 which we thought was really good value.

After finishing our walk around the zoo Rena quickly consumed her ice cream and we decided to head back to our friends motel room so Rena could have a bath and then share dinner with them. Mmmm chicken and prawns mmmm.

Well we were all very tired after our walk around the zoo so back to the camper and in bed. Lots of snoring tonight.

ps photos later when we can get this broadband stick to work better.

Day 22 Friday 1st March; Location Terramungamine Reserve (North Dubbo)

Today we had the unenvious task of packing up a wet camper. Thankfully we didnt have to travel to far.

Fired up the internet on the phone tried to book the caravan park, dang wouldnt let me book it using the phone. Fired up the wifi stick and tablet and the site was now no longer available... ARGH. On to another van park and hey presto we are booked in. Next problem cant book in to the van park until 2 pm so need to kill some time.

Packed up and parked the cruiser and camper at the reserve and then went and did the Terramungamine Aboriginal Carving Sites umberella in hand. Amazing what they did in the old days. The carvings were right next to the river.

Back in the cruiser and off to Dubbo, and to the Old Dubbo Gaol. And you guessed it umbrellas in toe (still raining). What a very informative place to visit, lots of signs to tell you about the displays. Miss 4 year old made it interesting and we didnt get to spend as much time reading or looking as we would have liked. But was still very interesting, worth while and if you are a RACQ member you get a discount. Bonus.

If we come back to Dubbo again in a couple of years will come and visit the Goal again.

Finally off to the caravan park to set up camp. Not a bad little park and very quiet, good toilets and quaint little camp kitchen, and a small playground for Rena.

Our friends arrived around 4 pm and we agreed to meet up with them at the bowls club for dinner.
Good choice the Bowls club near the train station had an all you can eat smorgasboard for $21 for adults and $5 for Rena. Great Value. Must have been good food, as Rena had 3 plates of food definate record breaker there. The company was fantastic and the food brilliant.

Back to camp early morning to get to zoo.

Day 21 Thursday 28th February; Location Cassillas Rest Area

Awoke to trucks pulling in and out and got up to discover that it was cattle trucks and the noise was the cows being moved around.

Destination today Dubbo.

We took the short drive from Cassillas to Dubbo and headed to north of town to the Terramungamine Reserve (another free camp spot).

We arrived around lunch time and set up camp made lunch and looked up to the heavens, checked the BOM site and thought hmmm better get the annex roof up.

Its official call us J & P Drough Busters, No sooner had we got the annex roof up and the heavens opened up AGAIN!!! ARGH Rain.

In between the showers of rain Rena and I managed to explore the river bank a little. A very pretty camp area and the bonus with it being a free camping spot, one to note and return to in the future. Very popular spot, definately have to be here early as if you arrive at 4 it is slim pickings for a spot to set up for the night, lots of grey nomads.

Early night due to the rain, tomorrow off to a caravan park in Dubbo and meet up with our friends to go to the Western Plains Zoo over the weekend.
