Canowindra
We found a spot to park our car and caravan just past the tourist information centre. We headed off to find a coffee shop and explore the town. There is a heritage walk available, and the information centre offers a brochure to guide you during your walk. We strolled out to the Swinging Bridge and […]
Harden
A follower caravanner we met in Gundagai recommended a visit to Harden. They enjoyed the striking War Memorial—known as ‘Bill the Bastard’ — Australia’s greatest war horse. We certainly agree, the sculpture left us in awe, easily earning the top spot among our favourites. And the story behind it? Even more fascinating! See below: A […]
Sydney Harbour 2024
A quick stopover at the Orient Hotel on the Rocks before setting out on the harbour to see the ships and flypast from the outer Manly Ferry vantage point, all in anticipation of the visit from the King and Queen A Fleet Review on Sydney Harbour featured an Australian Defence Force flypast. Their Majesties, accompanied […]
Dangar Falls
Dangar Falls National Park is a short drive south of Armidale. The drive to the Park is bitumen with 9 kms of dirt road. The dirt road is in good condition for driving, and the beautiful scenery makes the trip enjoyable. As we approached the park entrance with the caravan, we slowed down to avoid […]
New England Hwy
Bluff Rock Overnight at Bluff Rock Rest Area We found a convenient rest stop off the New England Highway, just after Stanthorpe. Due to the approaching heavy rain and storms, we decided to stay on the paved road overnight to avoid getting the caravan stuck on our first night away. The rest stop includes a […]
Patonga
We headed to Patonga for our next adventure. The drive was slower than usual as we carefully maneuvered our caravan down Woy Woy Road, over the Railway Line, along Rawson Road, and through Umina. The last stretch of the journey took us through a narrow, winding road, and we had to be on the lookout […]

The drive from South West Rocks along the Macleay River is picturesque, with the road being mostly bitumen, except for a 3km stretch of dirt track. The park does not allocate a specific area […]
Girvan
Upon reaching Girvan, one cannot ignore an extraordinary sight – an unconventional property that seems like a high-rise building in the midst of a rural setting, yet it is a towering ten-floor house. Our camping experience was fantastic, as we secured a prime spot on our friend’s property with an elevated view of the mountains. […]
Gloucester
The journey from Booti Booti to Gloucester provided a picturesque drive, and despite the numerous bends in the road, the trip was easily manageable. The Gloucester Holiday Park is situated along the Gloucester River, and the town is at the foothills of the Bucketts Mountain Range. The Holiday Park is on 20 acres. It is […]
Booti Booti
Despite booking three nights, we only endured one due to our campsite’s proximity to the noisy road, amplified by an 80km speed limit. Wind and rain, along with frequent strong wind warnings, spoiled our stay. We suggest considering only fair weather for a visit and exercising caution about advance bookings. Nonetheless, we enjoyed a drive […]
Port Macquarie
Experiencing the stunning red sunrise each morning at the caravan park added a unique touch to our three-day stay. We stayed at the NRMA Port Macquarie Breakwall Caravan Park, which is conveniently located to access the waterfront break wall and beach. We had some very windy days and rain. The mornings were best before the […]

Coffs Harbour
Our stay at Coffs Harbour Big 4 Holiday Park was enjoyable, thanks to its excellent location near the water. The park was just a short stroll from the marina, waterfront coffee, sailing club, and Mutton Bird Island. Rabbits and bush turkeys freely roamed around the Big4 Park. On our morning stroll to the marina, we […]
Port Stephens
This is a BOM map of the Port Stephens area in April 2015, where we were preparing to leave in our catamaran, Sedna, a Lagoon 44. An East Coast Low developed off the coast, rapidly intensifying before making landfall at Nelson Bay. It was a huge decision where to anchor to be safe. After studying […]
