Diamond Head

Diamond Head Campground in Crowdy Bay National Park is right on the beach. There is no potable water but cold showers and toilets are available (making this one of the better National Parks). We enjoyed the stunning scenery, swimming and walks. Beach 4WD was embraced by one of us more than the other!

Wingham (& Taree)

Taree Showgrounds was finally reopened after the damaging floods 6 months ago. We arrived to find we were sharing the facility with the circus 😆. Adam’s family is only 15 minutes away in Wingham. We spent two days visiting, playing with the grandchildren, sharing meals, including seeing Pete & Bec on Saturday night at Taree Tavern. Wingham Coles was also just reopened after a major rebuild due to the flood and the new road bridge into the town had opened the week before.
