Does anyone know if the roads between Dubbo and Brisbane are all open or if any are affected by the floods? Son is heading that way in the next day or two. He was wondering what the situation is the QLD end.

One night around a campfire in the Warrumbungles, we met a couple who were on their first caravan trip.

We are hoping to spend a couple of months on the south coast. Would love any recommendations- we like having a campfire(conditions permitting), don't need toilet or showers, and sometimes like electricity. Not just looking for free camping but hate the caravan park cement slab & side by side...
