What an amazing place! It's an old gold mining town. Fascinating place with a reasonable free camp that comes complete with lots of parrots, crimson rosellas and lots of other (less spectacular) birds. Some great walks to do to - though they are very hilly. It's deep in a valley so phones and inter...

Currently staying at Nimbin Showgrounds $15 per night with power. Not in the camps book as yet. I think that visiting Nimbin should be on every bodies must do list. It is different from anywhere else. If here must see the candle factory. Regards Rastas

We have been stopped over at the Berry showgrounds, just North of Nowra in NSW for 5 days. Pretty little town and the showgrounds are just great. Green grass everywhere, it's been awhile since we stepped out of the van onto something other than stones, etc. Basic amenities but it's all you need. We were...

The Amenities aren't as clean as they could be, but as long as you take the usual precautions...thongs in the s...

I am now officially out of the work force and on the Governments books, and My wife finishes up next wednesday also, so to celebrate we are off to Pottsville NSW for the week in the van. Fishing and reading are the only things on the agenda, oh and relaxing by the water.

Left Biggy this morning for a slow relaxing drive 200 ks south to Kumbia. Stopped at Wondai at the park there for lunch. Not sure if it was Apex or Lions. They have a food van there. Had a huge salad sandwich and iced coffee. Once again a nice spot here, had Happy Hour with 3 couples, everyone is so friendly o...

We left Jim and Leonie's after two lovely weeks on the 23rd and stayed two days at Forster and had a look around. Big sea running so fishing was out. Then on to Pacific Palms and the trip out to sugarloaf lighthouse at seal rocks. The rocks sure would have been a hazard to ships in those days. Friday 26th o...
