Black Rocks

Black Rocks Camping Area is in the Bundjalong National Park. Over the three days here we really enjoyed the bush and bird life. We swam at Black Rocks beach, so named because of the black minerals giving the rock and sand a sooty colour.

Gary walked some of the trail beside Jerusalem Creek.

Secret Lake Retreat

This pretty campsite was isolated and situated a few kilometers from Lawrence. For four days we explored the surrounding area, visiting Maclean and Yamba and cooled down in the picturesque lake.

Anchorage Park

Beautiful river front campground on the Kalang River, Urunga.

Perhaps the wildest, heaviest afternoon storm we have been experienced.

We kayaked under the road bridge, up to the old railway bridge.

It was very hot and so it was easy to cool off in the river which was on our doorstep.

Playstation

It was a rare opportunity at Playstation to spend two days with John and Rhonda. In beautiful surroundings we had campfire chats and walked the airstrip each morning.

Brothers having too much fun!

We went kayaking on the Korogoro Creek, Hat Head, and also swam.

Diamond Head

Gary finally tried out the Ford in the sand (and had fun).

Kangaroos sparring outside our van one morning.

Walking the beach and swimming each morning was the pattern to start the day.

It is exciting when the meticulous plans are realized. The bladder for storing extra water off grid was successfully transferred to the caravan water tanks.

Taree & Wingham

Adam, Olivia and family have moved to a lovely property at Wingham. We visited for a few days and enjoyed spending time with the family, exploring their new home and playing with the grandchildren

Very excited for the family as they settle into this new home.

Saturday markets at Old Bar, starring specialty home crafted goods from Little Bobin Farm.

The Ruins Campground

Booti Booti National Park campground could be the best NSW National Parks campground we’ve come across. Excellent modern facilities, large sites and only a short walking distance to the beach. Unfortunately there were too many bluebottles and rough seas to risk a swim. The morning beach walks were easy and very few people to be seen.
