Great to have these free places to stay. We also stayed a night in Wilkes Park at Wagga Wagga on our recent trip through NSW.

No fish being caught in the Dumaresq Dean. Locals say they are releasing too much water from the dam. Water is very clear as well

We were camped just the other side of that big She Oak tree on our last trip Derek. Nice spot alright.

We are home.

Left 29 October and home late 28 November. Not a cent spent on caravan park/camping ground fees.

As a result of this trip going to do a few modifications to the van.

Tool box on the draw bar for the chainsaw and associated bits and box on the rear bar for a smaller generator.

Also will be looking at a grey water tank for under the van as more and more places are requiring fully self contained vehicles.

Overall a fantastic trip.
