Hey! welcome the forum.

I agree its a great place to share ideas and you're right about the friendliness.

We did a road trip to Melbourne last Christmas and stopped at a great place on the way back. It was the Salt Caves in the Piliga state forest near Narrabrai and it would suit as an overnight stop (there's a couple of things to see as well) and its no too far off the highway.

Enjoy the forum.

G'day fovu,

To MySwag,
Nice setup you have there.
Sounds like a good trip, when your in the Northern NSW area, you'll have to drop by the Clarence Valley.
Have a look at some of our favorite spots.

Welcome Fovu. I stayed at Arno Bay about 25 years ago. Hit a roo and had to wait for a new fan and radiator to be sent up on the bus from Whyalla.  I have never seen such wonderful beaches as those around that area.

G'day & Welcome.

You're close to some fantastic camping already. We had our first ever National Meet at Wilmington last October, and had a good look around.
