We will be visiting the
Trundle area for a few days in the next week or so. Would appreciate general comment on
Trundle itself and its surrounds, and the
Trundle Showground from folk who have stayed there. Cheers. Lynton

LB (Qld)
We were at the
Trundle Show Ground for three nights from the 5th September last for the local
camp oven
cook off.
Trundle is known for the width of its Main Street, some 60odd metres, a quaint town with old buildings but
well worth the visit.
The
camp area at the Show Ground is flat, grassy but open to the winds, but you can get between buildings with ease for shelter, there is power and water.
The facilities are basic but when we were there very clean, also has a
dump point.
Payment can be made at the Super 7 Supermarket.
If travelling to
Trundle from the north consider spending a night at Albert, and have a meal at The
Rabbit Trap Hotel,
well worth the stop over.
Hope this helps.
Cheers
Baz

They say the reason they have such a wide main street was so the Bullock Teams could turn around.
Hope the Cafe there still makes great hamburgers for you to try.
Not too far from
Trundle is Oootha where you can find the "Utes In The Paddock"
well worth a look. Take the Yarrabandi Rd and it's about 42 ks.

Thank you baz&pud and Notso. Just the info I was seeking. Perfect! Shall stay at
Trundle. As we will be travelling from the north will overnight also at Albert. Oootha is now on our itinerary too! Looking to having a meal at Albert and a 'burger at the
Trundle café. Thanks again, very much indeed to you both!

Hey LB,
If you are going to Ootha to look at the utes in the paddock, you are not far from
Condobolin, a few ks (4 or 5) west of there, there is a
great camp spot called
Gum Bend Lake, don't think there is power, but plenty of water and the conveniences are excellent.
By the way, at Albert you can stay in the van park opposite the hotel, or
free camp out the back of the cvp.
Cheers
Baz
