I read with discust that the NSW NPWS are considering the adopting the Qld system of pre-booking on line & paying for campsites before your arrival. So more of buying a pig in a bag, why would you want to book some thing unseen. I see this as being another way of detering people from visiting these are...

The Virgin Rock Rest Area, Camps 6 - CAMP 428 is a few ks from Springsure Qld. The camp is near the road but as there's not much traffic passing at night road noise did not bother us. The site is not very big but we did not have any trouble finding a spot for our little darling, however, bigger rigs may have a pr...

Anyone watching today's match? What a season this one will be ! Where are you Jimbo?

Funny thing to think about, but . . . driving from Albany to Perth last week, I suddenly realised that I have not seen a hitchhiker for years. They used to be quite common. Are they still out there? Just idle curiosity. Must admit I would not pick anyone up these days. Cheers, Tony

great spot for self contain units ,no water and toilets only open from 8 -5 .good fishing and snorkeling and not many backpackers as the host turns them away if no toilet is onboard. (one could argue that most backers have a truck like a toilet .:)

I'm afraid I am totally 'gobsmacked' after a phone call from my mother. Her doctor has told her my Dad is 'in the wrong place' (dementia ward). While I'm still waiting to talk to the doctor myself I can't believe what she has said. She was one of two doctors who said Mum had done the right thing by putting Da...

A little Aussie humour... An Italian, a Frenchman and an Aussie were talking about screams of passion. The Italian said: "Last night I massaged my wife all over her body with the finest extra virginolive oil, then we made passionate love and I made her scream, n...

We were looking for Camps 6 - Camp 451 on the way to Ceratodus Qld yesterday to stop for lunch and could not find it but came across a camp site near the track to Hurdle Gully lookout and suspect it may be Camp 451 but as the road has changed the kilometres no longer match the book. Anyway it looks like a pleasa...

Ceratodus Rest Area, Camps 6 - CAMP 455, is a pleasant flat glassy area a few ks from Eidsvold QLD. It is quiet and there are flushing toilets and plenty of room to park. The relocated old railway station and some historical information is on site too. It's amazing to see debris from the floods so high up i...
