I watched 60 minutes article on the grey nomads and they featured Barn Hill in Western Australia. I gather it is up the coast right on the sea. Could anyone please tell me where it is as it really looks fantastic as a secluded place to camp away from the hussle and bussle.

We are going up to Bundaberg area in October and would like some tips on where to find some nice free camping or reasonably priced caravan parks. Preferably where the mad fisherman (hubby) will catch some fish. Is Burnett Heads any good? AilleenH.

600 k north of Sydney, Moree is the place to sit in the hot artesian water and easy away the aches. Best place to stay is the Gwyder Caravan Park, 3k south of town which has four clean pools, free for resident use. A good place to go to decide where to go next! Brian
