Diamond Head

This campground in Crowdy Head National Park has become one of our favourite places to stay along the coast. In less than 100 metres you are on the beach, which is great for swimming and surfing. There are walks along the coastline ridges with spectacular views and wildflowers providing a guard of honour along the path.

Tahlee

Tahlee is only 2 hours north of Sydney and is a serene and picturesque campsite. Its history began in 1880 and is part of YWAM, an interdenominational Christian organization.

Camping by the water, we enjoyed the bird life, sunset and walks along the shoreline. The massive trees and wild bush felt like we had stepped back in time.

NSW/QLD Spring’26 Adventure

Such a great disappointment! We were only 25 minutes into our trip north when the car had a major problem. With great assistance by NSW transport we were moved to a safe location. Ford (NRMA) Roadside assistance couldn’t diagnose the problem & so the car had to be towed to the nearest Ford dealership. Our dear friends Mal & Kathy picked us and the van up and drove us back home.

Yarrangobilly Village

Due to closure of Long Plain Hut campground we chose Yarrangobilly Village. Being a short distance from Three Mile Dam we pulled up and had morning tea. The weather forecast for the next 5 days was for rain/showers… not pleasant for walks or an evening fire. Instead of “tuffing it out” we departed for home.

Three Mile Dam (Kiandra)

Our next camp site was to be Long Plain Hut (near Yarrongabilly) but unfortunately the area was closed for maintenance which included trimming trees. We chose Three Mile Dam (west side) for an over night stopover instead. Selwyn Snow Resort is about 3km away.

Lovely peaceful location & we are the only campers here…

Denison Campground

This is a lesser known camping area in Koscciuszko National Park, not far from Kiandra. We could walk 500 meters to the bank of the Eucumbene River, north west of the Eucumbene Dam. There were walking trails, many kangaroos, bird life and glorious bush and mountain views.

Gillards Beach

This National Park Campground is one of the best coastal we have visited. What a difference… warmer temperatures and sunny weather. Have we finally left the wet weather behind?

Damaged stabiliser leg following harsh dirt road travel in NT & WA last year. Temporary fix with the assistance of our camping neighbour.

Quite annoying bird call, repetitive during daylight hours

Our morning walks provided stunning coastline.

Morning bird songs…

After a morning walk and strong gusting southerly winds we decided to tour around Tathra.
