Hi Viz - I'm not that smart! I just do a copy and paste and the spreadsheet came up. If you have trouble, type in
http://groups.msn.com/Caravanersforum
then from the list on the left of screen pick Documents Folder. Bushcamps.xls is in the list of doucments.
You may need to be a member of the
forum to get this far - I'm not sure, as i joined (free) some time ago.
We have only been to NSW very briefly - drove through and back on a rushed trip to buy the caravan from Qld. Looked like plenty of
places on the routes we took. Only overnights were 1) Somewhere North of
Bourke - near the NSW Qld border - just pulled off the road sort of behind a clump of bushes. It was very quiet during the night. 2) My husband wanted to get past
Broken Hill and it was getting dark, so we just pulled off the road when crossing the hills west-ish of
Broken Hill. Not so quiet; we hadn't seen a "truck rest stop" almost just across the road. Earlier in the day we took the road along the river from
Bourke to
Wilcannia which had a number nice camping opportunities.
We've been lucky where ever we travel we have found good spots, whether
bush camping with the ute, or recently with the luxury of the caravan. We watch for old gravel pits, old roads, patches of bush or whatever. Sometimes just turn down a quiet side road because it has the right feel, and just pull off. Rarely use recognised rest areas, unless they are huge; too many people. Did the same thing in Europe many years ago - even in densely populated countries there were plenty of spots to stop.
Good luck and happy camping.
