Here I am in Armidale. Too late to see much of the town, although what I have seen looks good.
Have booked in into the cheapest Van Park I have ever been to. $16 for a powered Site.
Where? 2kms up the hill from the centre of Armidale. It is fairly big, clean, spacious and quiet. Many biggish rigs here. They have many drive through sites which would make it handy . No concrete slabs, but hey, I can step on grass just as easy. Free internet, mobile signal good, and shower block open 24/7. The air is crisp and will no doubt help with snuggling in tonight.
Am enjoying my evening tipple before dinner.

Armidale Dumaresq Dam is CLOSED for everything from today for essential health and safety reasons. The toilets have become totally unsafe and unpleasant and they are also sited just above the creek.
We were told that it will be re-opened after new toilets and other upgrades are completed. Armidale Damaresq council will confirm. Local Press and Prime TV have investigated and no doubt will report.
Council had little choice an to their credit, gave 24 hours notice to campers.
BTW, even before this the Dam management committee has been considering a $10 fee.
I was lucky enough to get one night in before being evicted: great spot
