Lorella Springs Wilderness Park Review, Near Borroloola NT
First things first. “Near Borroloola” because it’s the closest town, but it’s about 3.5 hours away. Only about 160km but 130km is dirt. Your trip to Lorella Springs is going to vary greatly depending on what time of the year you go (how far into the dry season it is). […]
Workman’s Beach Camping Area, Agnes Water, QLD – Near Seventeen Seventy (1770)
When choosing a camp spot, we tend to stay next to a river, creek or waterhole. Because we have dogs, it can sometimes be hard to find a dog friendly camping area located next to a beach. It was our first night in our brand new camper trailer and we […]

Punyelroo, near Swan Reach SA
I have fond memories of Punyelroo, on the banks of the mighty Murray River. As a kid my family would spend most weekends and school holidays at Punyelroo waterskiing. Even the freezing cold winter didn’t deter us kids from skiing, it just meant wearing an extra wetsuit, plus boots and […]
Wagga Wagga Beach Caravan Park
Yes, BEACH! Located on a beautiful stretch of the Murrumbidgee River in the centre of town is the Wagga Wagga Beach Caravan Park. We stayed for one night in late January 2014 on one of our big road trips. Quite a fancy caravan park compared to a lot of the […]

Mendooran is a small town along the Castlereagh River in Central Western New South Wales. We stayed in the rest area just behind the police station and along the river bank. The Mendooran Rest Area is very large, with plenty of flat ground and big shady trees. Perfect for any […]
