we are here in bellingen and have just read an article on rose,s park thora nsw ,the caravan park at dorrigo has been complaining of the use of this park for free camping and have lodged a complaint with bellingen council.the caravan park has stated that they are worried about the misuse of the area with campers running off their black water which would damage the bellinger river ,they have also stated that this is a reserve . bellingen council has listened to the caravan parks issue and has said it has been moving campers on ,but a sign will be erected saying "no camping" to deter campers .

That's a shame. Dorrigo was a nice little overnighter.

 I like Dorrigo,(and esp the National Parks on the range above it).....lush, subtropical, biodiverse, friendly, inexpensive, well-situated....

@deb-gary, where is the other one? confuse

Yes - I helped research for the site with a couple of mates so I have an interest but only to get a better deal for us travellers.
