This place has been mentioned so many times now, I can see I'll have to visit it somewhere along my travels.

 Yeah, I was there too on New Year's Day this year.  Pulled up in the park by the bridge for a bit of a rest for a few hours and then had a bit of a look around before departing.

Found the big old tree on the bank rather fascinating.

 I'm always fascinated by the shapes, sizes, colours of trees. That one is awesome!

Bingara as a whole is a lovely spot but in particular the camp ground where Davkar, Jonothan, Blue and I were.

Just far enough out of town but then at the same time close enough and the traffic of the main highways is waaaaaaaaaaay down the end of the road too.

There was certainly a lot more water in the river when we were there three weeks ago.

They were evidently doing some work on the dam upstream and had to let a fair bit of water out from the bottom of the dam and boy oh boy was it cold.
