Stayed at Jugiong show grounds on Monday night, great spot right by the river , flat ground, quiet and peaceful .............donation box which we contributed to, have to keep places like this going, also dump point, toilets and showers, a very big thumbs up.

Pulled in here this morning for 1 night. $25.00 for a powered site for 2 people. Park is well laid out, showers and toilets first class so is the laundry. I had lots of laundry to catch up on. Dump point also, although I didn't ask the charge if you are not staying at the CP. Highly recommended.

Was reading the Nomad news about Warrnambool vic and that got me thinking about caravan parks at Emerald qld, last time we were up that way the only camping seemed to be near the bridge so we moved on to Saffire. (not that that was a bad move) As we intend to be heading that way shortly, would anyone have a...

Annie8702 · Annie8702

Just a general question. Are there plenty of either caravan parks or free stays with lots of travelers staying overnight in this stretch and would you need to carry extra fuel or are the servos close enough not to have to worry about it. We don't like to travel for too long in a day.
