One night around a campfire in the Warrumbungles, we met a couple who were on their first caravan trip.

Hi Everyone, Happy New Year... Now my gripe. While travelling through Echuca - Moama, I stopped at a Moama Caravan park & asked if there was a council dump point, the people in reception said they didnt know of one in Moama, but directed me to the Echuca Information centre just over the Bridge.

We are hoping to spend a couple of months on the south coast. Would love any recommendations- we like having a campfire(conditions permitting), don't need toilet or showers, and sometimes like electricity. Not just looking for free camping but hate the caravan park cement slab & side by side...

We camped for 10 days, early December at Wuruma Dam inland from Bundaberg QLD. The purpose of the trip was to bag a fresh water Barra.

We were travelling north from our daughters, near Coffs, towards the Gold Coast and fortunately decided to take the Teven road to bypass Ballina as the traffic was very heavy.
