Quobba and Gnaraloo
(Preview)
Hi all I'm looking for some honest opinions on the above camp sites. I have heard very mixed reports about both and to be honest I'm a little concerned about spending time at both of them but the reviews and opinions on Gnaraloo in particular seem to be either good or terrible with nothing in between

Wind in NSW .
(Preview)
Just be very aware and careful of the wind gusts in NSW at present . I came through a cutting doing 80 kph and the side wind near tipped our 6 ton motorhome over . Lucky there was enough room in lane to correct enough ! The gust wasn't long enough but lighter motorhome or vans could be in trouble !!
