Robreen · Robreen

G'day all. We have spent over a week here. Top place. Nice pub. Great discovery centre. Lots to see and do. Well worth a visit to Harvey's country music hall at Boyup Brook. Very unique venue. Just north of ballingup, there are some very interesting hedges in the cemetery. Bridgeton has a jigsaw museu...

Anybody stayed here? It is just off Mitchell Highway near enough half way between Orange and Bathurst. It is a beautiful grassy hillside free camp. There is NO fee & appears to be no time limit. We are here awaiting our booking into Blayney caravan park which we arranged months ago for the V8 Mt...

We just love this location. We have been there several times. The man running the place is a bit of a grumpy fella but he stays out of your way. You are on the beautiful Wollondilly River, in your own area, not stacked up against others. Easy vehicle and caravan/camper access. Very basic facilities bu...

For those who are self contained and what a peaceful site with 360 degree views, birds, two dams & a delightful host. This site is just 9k out of Mareeba. A great base to explore the area from. $5 pp great value.

The free camp at cooktown is very dissapointing, you must have not only a black water tank but also a grey water tank and your van will be inspected by a very zealous ranger. If you meet the requirements you can stay for 2 nights. It is also on a dirt road that carries a lot of traffic making a lot of dust and no...

we love the travel bit.....by road, and more often by air. ( have own aircraft, aviators for yrs and yrs ) anyway, as a consequence, we've called into many a country airstrip, and use same locations when on the road, they often have perfectly clean toilets ( if you need them ) often a water tap, quiet away...
