Back in New South Wales

After spending a very relaxing few days at Lake Broadwater we ventured further south towards the NSW border.  We drove through green cotton fields, through Cecil Plains and Millmerrin, where we've camped on earlier visits, to Yelarbon, about 50km east of Goondiwindi.

We camped at the Yelarbon Recreation Grounds campsite - $15 per night for a powered site.  The Getaway Caravan Club from Brisbane were there and they invited us to join in with their Fathers' Day barbecue celebrations.  Yelarbon has a lovely lagoon and several nice walks and drives.  It's proximity to Goondiwindi makes it a good place to stay for a few days.


From Yelarbon we drove to Warwick where we had our new Dexter Anti-Sway System adjusted, stocked up the cupboards and filled the fuel tank.  Then we crossed into NSW, driving along windy mountain roads to Woodenbong.  We camped at the Woodenbong Campground - $10 per night for a powered site.  We're in Yowie Country, the Australian version of the American Bigfoot and the Himalayan Yeti.  The only ones we saw were the tourist version.


The countryside around Woodenbong is beautiful.  We took a day trip to the Tooloom Falls.  There's a great free camp at the falls - one to keep on the list.  Spring has arrived and the flowers are starting to bloom.








When we returned from our trip to the falls, we were joined by Bushtracker friends for the final leg of our trip to Mullumbimby for the Bushtracker Owner Group (BOG) Muster.  We stopped off at Kyogle for morning tea.
