Don't know Ken but can you tell Lyn that little bird is still flitting around out there picking up the bugs. Stood right beside me while I was sweeping the other day. Safe travels.

Stotts Island between the Tweed and Murwillambah - No. 1 in the NSW section of Camps - if you go there say hi to an old friend of ours - Mario - lives in an old Hi Ace there.

I like the New Italy Rest Area, flushing toilets around the back of the building. A museum and cafe there. I don't know of any actual free camps along that stretch, wish I did.

I also stay overnight at Yelgun RA quite often and spend the day touring the Brunswick area. Clean, well off the Highway and lots use it.

I would give Stotts Island a bmiss, unless of coarse you like mud and roosters crowing all night. Carry on to Yelgun, you won't be dissapointed. Good bbeach close by too.

Some of the nicest people I know live at Stotts Island - had a few good stays there! Councill keep catching the fowls, and people keep dropping new ones there - I think they are unique!

Hello all We did stay at New Italy and if you can sleep with a lot of road and truck noise then it is ok, otherwise not real good
