For me two places stand out ( more will come to mind, but I'm a senior so I am having a moment) 1 Mataranka, a stunning spot I thought, the springs are usually full of grey nomads immersed in the warm water, the meals at the resaurant were fantastic and the Van Park though a bit on the dusty side was very clean...

Unbelievable service from the mob above. Ordered a 2 terabyte SSD from Sydney and it was dispatched on the 26th July. Arrived this morning the 10th August. How's that for service! Absolutely hopeless, no wonder that they are in the red.
