South West Rocks, NSW

We have just returned from doing a 4x4 Show in Sydney. On the way back we spent a couple of nights at Arakoon National Park (near South West Rocks (Kempsey)) staying at the Trial Bay Gaol Campground. We were camped right on the edge of the embankment overlooking the magnificent bay. We couldn't resist rolling up the back awning and taking a photo. At the time of the photo there were gale force winds outside, but we were tucked up inside our Tailgater Plus camper looking out at this very impressive view.

Millmerran Camp Oven Festival

A few weeks ago we attended the Millmerran Camp Oven Festival. They were expecting about 1400 campers over the weekend - and it certainly looked like they met their target. There were rigs of all sizes and shapes. The weekend was quite hot but very enjoyable. The volunteers who run the Festival did a wonderful job, providing a well run and very efficient Festival.

Wednesday 19 September, 2012

Have just had a couple of days away and stayed at a couple of really lovely places. The Island Reach Caravan Park at Imbil on the banks of Yabba Creek once again showed us what a really special place it was - not very many people there so we had a spot close to the creek. To our surprise we were able to watch a platypus swimming up and down just below our camp - what a treat. In the morning we woke to a spectacular fog - a photographers dream!!!

 
 
We were then lucky to have a night at Lake Lenthall (near Maryborough). We arrived on a Sunday and expected a few people camping there, however, we only had day-trippers - some there for the bird watching - others just for a picnic lunch or to fish. We were the only campers.

25 May, 2012

We have just returned from doing a Caravan and Camping Show in Mackay. On the way back we stayed at a caravan park in Sarina and were approached by a lovely lady called Lisa who is travelling in a bus with her family.

Lisa writes a blog about her travels and has taken some photos and written a story about our Tray-Tek Campers - Tailgater Plus (dual cab) that we were travelling in - if you are interested I have attached the website.

Many times we have driven past the turnoff to the Lake Monduran Holiday Park but this time we decided to stop overnight. We ended up staying two nights and watching the first State of Origin on a big screen that had been set up for all to see...... luckily Queensland won so it was a good stay. This photos was taken early on the morning of our departure. The park was very well maintained and the people super friendly - if you ever get a chance to stay there I'm sure you'll enjoy it.
