Fellow travellers,

Please DO NOT free camp in the area besibe the info centre at south kempsey due to violent bashings & robberies by those b#*^%#ds exempt from abiding by the law.

This has been going on for a long time & getting worse, & nothing gets done about it.

Safe travells.

Cheers,

Thanks Jim.

It's always good to be told of these trouble spots, especially for those who are travelling solo.

Hi there, guess we could look this place up, but to save time can you tell us where South Kempsey is in relation to the large island of Australia?
We are in Darwin and about to cross into Western Australia.  Thanks

Kempsey is on the North coast of NSW between Coffs Harbour and Port Macquarie

Pity JC, stop at that info centre about 2 times a year, when seeing the relo's at Ballina/Casino. Great spot for a break, but would not be anywhere aroung that area at night.

Sounds like they need a good job........send em to afghanistan as targets for the taliban........might help our barve boys n gals over there a bit less obvious for a hour or so.....

They are all oxygen thieves who are too cpwardly to fight in the ring and risk gettin beat up fair an square....

Bring back corporal punishment from Primary School onwards, including adults, public lashing/caning might make em think twice about it.

These things get burried quickly. You should really provide a link so we can find them later. 
 Link to news story

Last year there was a report that the council was going to lock the front gate to stop this type of thing happening. What has happened to that?

 This may help, hope I got it right as I have never tried this before.

This is not the only problem, home burgs, cars, ram raids etc,

This has been going on for years & nothing gets done about it.  Years ago my wife was held up by four  as she was locking  up the road house after night shift where she worked.It took months for her to get passed the jumpy state, had to be carefull not to walk into a room a speak until she knew I was in the room.

I was picking up a stolen car & they were still trying to remove parts as I winched it onto the tilt tray, they smashed every window while I was doing it,thought the truck would be next .Not a good experience.

We could go on all night but you know what we mean.




just checked the link & its ok.
