We were so impressed with the "Police Paddocks" that we returned for another three days. We used the clear creek water for washing and also to fill our tanks for showering.

We visited All Saints Winery, where we sampled cheeses and wines, purchasing a variety of products items.
While there, we had lunches in Rutherglen and on Sunday enjoyed lunch at Vahalla Wines, where we had wood-fired pizzas with a bottle of cold Mascato overlooking the vineyard. We also befriended Graham, who has been visiting this area for twenty-seven years and camping for up to four months at a time. During this period, he has become friends with the landowner of the neighbouring property, who allows him to collect yabbies from his dam, which he uses for bait. One of his secrets to catching Murray Cod is to use Aldi's tasty block cheese.
Monday 24th October:
We were now on our way home. The morning was just beautiful, but by 11 am, we were driving into a severe headwind, which made driving difficult. So, we cut short the day's drive at midday and decided to camp at the caravan park in Junee. We had previously camped there nine years ago. We had lunch at the chocolate and liquorice factory, housed in an old flour mill, and took some of the treats they produce away with us.

Tuesday 25th October:
We left Junee heading for Ponto Falls #1040, which is situated nineteen kilometres NW of Wellington. The campsite is right beside the Macquarie River. We had heard reports that there may be severe thunderstorms in the area, and considering we would need to navigate a quite steep track out the next morning, I went to see about camping on higher ground. However, after nearly stepping onto a large brown snake, we decided that the river flats were the best spot. We experienced thunder and lightning during the evening, but no hint of rain.
Wednesday 26th October:
We continued through Gulgong, Cassilis, Merriwa, and Denman before spending the night at Broke #206, which is situated in the Hunter Valley wine region west of Cessnock. The camps book describes the site as being next to the river, but it's not possible to see it, and after my effort yesterday with the snake, I was not very interested in making my way through the scrub.

We spent our final two days camping at Booti Booti National Park, which is just sixteen kilometres south of Forster and located on the coast. We stayed at the "ruins campground" #107.
Hello Ros and Ross
ReplyDeleteMy name is Mark Knowles, I’m a journalist for Caravan and Motorhome On Tour Magazine.
We’re constantly on the lookout for photos of people on the road with their rig to feature in the magazine.
I was looking at your wonderful blog and saw some of your great pictures and wanted to ask if you could email me some so we could put them in the magazine.
We’re only too happy to send you a copy of the magazine if we use one of your pictures, and of course, we can attribute the image to you.
It’s always fun to see yourself and your rig on the pages of the magazine and share your experiences with other RV enthusiasts.
Right now I’m working on an article about some popular touring routes around Australia, with a focus on where you can find some great free-camping spots.
I see you have travelled to some of the area’s I’m hoping to feature and would love to get some photos of you at any of the free-camping spots you have stayed at in these regions.
At the moment I’m hoping to find some pics in areas including northern and outback QLD, Tassie, south-west WA, the Murray River region, NSW south coast and the Eyre Peninsula in SA.
So if you’ve got any photos of your travels in any of these places, I’d love it if you could send them in.
Please tell us a bit about where you are and what you liked about the spot as well.
Like I said, we’re always after photo’s, so even if you don’t have any for these particular places, I was hoping to put you on my contact list and maybe contact you again in the future about upcoming stories.
We always prefer pics with people in them, whether it’s yourselves or some friends you made along the way, and we also love to see your rig, so please keep that in mind when you’re looking for pics to send.
Don’t hesitate to contact me for a chat or if you want any more info, I’m always happy to hear from RVers and have a chat about their travels and tips.
Fell free to pass on this letter to any of your RVing friends as well, I’d like to hear from as many people as possible.
Please send any photos in the highest quality file size you have, as they will look much better on the printed page, you might have to send them one at a time to get them through.
Thanks for your time, and I look forward to hearing from you and seeing some of your pictures soon.
Best Wishes,
Mark
