Well what a trip ive been on ,firstly i landed in crescent head after trudging along the highway in pouring rain all the way water over the road in Ballina once i made it through there i knew ide be fine.

spent two nights in crescent head nsw and then off to port mcq for a night then up to south west rocks to visit ,and then  off to port again to pack up and get ready to head on friday 14th to Tamworth.

Had an unreal trip ,walcha was cold in the morning but once we got to city lights c/van park we set up camp in searing heat and headed for the longyard hotel on of my favs
stayed there till tuesday morning ,i heard that the buses used to be free but that has all changed and you now pay 4.60 each way from the c/van park to town.

im thinking of booking for the whole ten days next year ,we had a ball and my daughter heidi who doesnt usualy get into country music had a hoot we even had pics with adam harvey what a sweetheart he is .

will post some pics now thanks all for your well wishes on our trip was a huge drive home  had to deliver my girlfriend back to  port mcq and then head home so left tamworth 7am and got home to sunshine coast 8pm i was buggered.

Hi Glassies, we had a great time in Tamworth too. Stayed at the council park near the bridge. We saw Adam Harvey and yes he is a lovely guy. All cowboyed out now. Last January 2010 attended the Elvis Festival in Parkes and were well and truly Elvised out by the time we left too!!

Milo, Elvis festival is a lot of fun. Heaps of Elvis impersonators, music. Can go to the Elvis Museum, and there are festivities at the clubs and pubs. I love the Street Parade, Viva Las Vegas, it's great fun!! Go if you get the opportunity, have to book accommodation. Enjoy

HI

DellieMay, make sure you check is Lightning Ridge is out of flood range, I heard a warning to farmers and campers to move to higher ground because of the water coming down from Qld. Cheers Val

yep i tried turning them around but every time i went back to them they were wrong side up again oh well at least i had a pretend lie down hehehehehe :)

It was so hectic spent most days trying to stay out of the heat i saw people camped near the bridge that looks like an alright spot, did hear a lot of thieving goes on though when not so much in a caravan park these days, they reckon the oval is rife with it.

but my theory is its everywhere and if they are gonna steal they are gonna steal

We didn't see or hear of any thieving going on, we were parked at that camp. We had good neighbours, everyone kept an eye on things when others were out. We had a friend come to our camp when we were in town, and two of the neighbours told us that someone had been at our van. But you are right, thieving is rife and thieves are gonna steal anywhere. We might see you guys next year ! Cheers
