Wednesday night we stayed at Terramungamine Reserve near Dubbo.  Free camp with flushing toilets. No other facilities but can have fires.  One night stay only on a big sign that not a lot seem to take much notice of

Thursday night at Gum Bend Lake Reserve near Condoblin.  What a great little place.

Free but donation asked for which we will happily do.  Toilets and hot showers if you need them.  Fresh water.  Electric BBQ.  Fishing in the lake I am told.  Plenty of room.

Today we head off to Junee to spend the weekend with friends parked up at their little farm

We don't watch a lot of TV but if we want to it is great to have the Auto Sattellite Dish on the roof of the van.

Wednesday we changed it over to receive all NSW stations.  Fantastic!!!!!

What a nice surprise.

A lovely lady knocked on the caravan door this morning and asked if we were staying the night.  She is the convenor of a courtesy bus to and from the camp ground to the local RSL

Amazing!!!!

Seems like the town is RV friendly - excellent!

Home grown lamb roast for dinner last night. 

When we were last here Mark bought a 12 inch deep Lodge from Cabelas and was keen to give it a go with a roast.

Home grown lamb? Do they plant them on that farm  Grin

Guinness straight out of the can? How uncouth Smiley my favourite drop when camping. Very easy to drink and a beautiful smooth frothy head when poured into a big glass with the aid of the widget  Smiley

Some more great stopovers. Not my cup of tea parking with the masses, but then my caravan is not insulated  Smiley

Travelling full time would be great with the satellite.

The only thing you seem to be lacking is a kayak to explore and fish those waters.
