Not me JC, it is not pet freindly so I was pass it by and head out to Mays Bend and free camp.

Always looks very popular, often many vans in there and I have never heard a bad report on it.

Does anyone here use this site for info?

We stayed there last year JC, very nice, nicely grassed and excellent ablutions and swimming pool. About 7kms on the north side of town. Make sure you do the river cruise at the back of the camp on the Darling River. You can get a muti ticket at the Outback centre or buy your ferry ticket on board, ask at office.

Make sure you visit Fred Hollows grave in the town cemetery.....

Not only Fred Hollows grave....the cemetery in general has quite a few interesting stories to tell and you should find a flyer there at the info board to show you about the place.

Also the old Crossley Engine down by the wharf is also a must see.

Sometimes, it is a private site as you know and anyone can give updates or feedback on the different caravan parks etc.......

Yep - we stayed there couple of years ago - would be about the best place in the area - in my opinion - lovely site, meals around the fire, paddle steamer trip out back - just all time nice place.

Do many people check out old cemetary's, we do, such a great way of learning the history of places, maybe we are strange but we don't find it depressing just very enlightening as to how people lived their lives

I find the old cemeteries educational and informative about the regions. Only modern cemeteries depress me a little. So many of my relatives are in them, but the old ones just interest me.
Check out the number of children's graves. That will give you a different view of the times.

Yes I remember a little SA town called Dutton I think on the way to Truro - it was about 25 years ago now. Most of the graves were children and I thought at the time some sort of epidemic must have gone through. Hard times indeed.

We stay a night or two at Kidmans Camp, whenever through that way. Probably stayed there 8 or 10 times over the years. Always find it excellent - well grassed, good sized sites, very modern and clean amenities, pleasant little pool.

LOVE historical cemeteries Pauline but sometimes find them a little sad when you see the number of children buried there.

Our pioneers had some pretty tough times.

My wife and I went through a cemetary in Ross or Richmond in Tasmania, we both ended up in tears, so mant children, gee life must have been tough in the pioneer days
