We were sad to leave the great camping spot we had here at Bingara but with only a few days left this trip we had to move on. We were going to stop at Severn River, at the time the grass was long but it was being mowed, there was very little water in the … Continue reading Bonshaw Weir
Bingara
Now we are talking 🙂 but more on that later. As you come into town there are some lovely painted silos. We love it when town’s do this sort of thing. The people who paint these are very talented and it's amazing how they can paint such detail, be able to paint so close up … Continue reading Bingara
Tamworth to Manilla
We headed to the Info and Golden Guitar Centre, there were several vans parked there but they do not have destination RV parking which we thought was pretty poor. Tamworth does not seem to be RV friendly. There are a lot more shops and businesses in this area than when we use to live here. … Continue reading Tamworth to Manilla
Sheba Dams Nundle
From Bendemeer we called in at the Moonbi lookout, you can also camp here. From there we drove past our old house at Kootingal then on towards Nundle. Over the Easter Saturday and Sunday, the Nundle Go For Gold Festival was on, we had avoided coming here until today because we figured it would be … Continue reading Sheba Dams Nundle

Jennings Rest Area
We left Glenn Innes early arvo heading towards home looking for a place to spend our last night. We called into Tenterfield at our favourite park there, it's always filled with lovely autumn colours that we don't see at home. Jess enjoyed playing in the fallen leaves. We stopped for the night at Jennings Rest … Continue reading Jennings Rest Area
Gum Flat Reserve
We spent 5 nights at this wonderful free camping area right along the banks of the Gwydir River. 25 km from Moree is the turn off to Gum Flat Road, it is then only a few kms up the road to a camping area that goes 2km along the river. Plenty of reasonable flat … Continue reading Gum Flat Reserve
Stanley the Emu
We spent 4 interesting nights and days in Lightning Ridge before heading off once more. We stopped at a rest area for morning tea across the road from Stanley the Emu. On Castlereagh Highway turn-off 10 kilometres out of town, you will come across an 18-metre sculpture of a steel called Stanley the … Continue reading Stanley the Emu
