Stopped at Ramco Point last night. Signs all around the boat ramp/toilets saying no camping but a local assured me there were plenty of places to park along the river and that I could in fact turn around at the end of the very narrow road.

Has any one experienced a groaning noise (maybe transfer case?), when at low speed, down low and mainly when vehicle been running for some time.

We have just driven past this free camp rest area and it seems that true to their word the council is enlarging the rest area. So 'watch this space' and we will report when work is finished. It wouldn't be 'quiet' while the work is happening.

Well, we have done a lot of freecamping (no power) this trip and yes, it's fine but when it also includes no internet cos there's no signal, then it isn't so fine. I've really missed reading all the posts on the forum and because it is such an active forum it takes forever to catch up when you've been 'offli...
