Camped at the Stotts Island Nature Reserve Camps6 #1 NSW half way between Tweed Heads and Murwillumbah on the old highway. It was raining and the place was really wet with water over the road in huge puddles and the grassy walk to the amenities block was a muddy track. There is a footbridge over the river...

Called into the Tiaro Memorial Park Camps6 #135 and had a hot shower at the toilet block in the Handicapped location. Quite muddy and uneven in the main area not the best campsite but fine for an overnight stay. I moved on to Petrie Park. Petrie Park Camps6 #134 is a tranquil oasis on the bank of the Mary Ri...

Set off north today and covered the 250kms to Chatsworth Park Camps6 #144 without incident arriving early afternoon and the place was busy, all the recognised camping sites were taken and I had to do with a place in the carpark. Not to worry this is a very nice camping area, not a place to stay for a few nig...

I never got...

Came back from Adelaide late last night, 900km round trip in the day and totally demoralised by the medical specialists. So this afternoon I stripped out the campervan of creature comforts, made an inventory and a new list for the re-supply, and once that is done will fill the water tank, and a fres...
