I've just come back this morning from a 2 day camping trip (tent) with a daughter, 3 grandkids and a dog. We were planning to free camp at Yarramalong Weir or Bowenville Reserve, both which are great spots but the water was muddy and flowing too fast for the grandkids to swim safely. So as we were on the ro...
