2022 was a very quiet year for Maggie and I travel wise. Due to family commitments and our own health failings we only spent 19 days total in the Motorhome.

This year, health willing we are planning to make the most of it.

I have been using WikiCamps Trip Planner to do some planning.

So far have come up with the map below. These are just the highways and we want to visit many other byways along the way and in between.

It could change of course but this is where we are at now.

Just a quick run down to Gilgandra today. The Newell Highway is currently terrible so far.

Last night read about a new campsite here that opened two weeks ago so decided to check it out.

It is under a two year trial by the council and located within the cultural centre. Only ten sites available.

Need to book online.
