Any tips pls

Mike

photobucket is what is hosting the photos below this reply...

Hi Jezza,
Looks like a great spot, I'm always looking for new places to go with our kids ( 2 girls 9 & 5) Where exactly is this,(I'm in western Sydney) does it get crowded, obviously OK for camper trailer..

Thanks,
Rob

Hi Rob,

Yep, its a very nice spot, first time we have been to it. It was a bit busy over Easter, but I would not say it was crowded - and everyone was courteous and respectful of others. It is an interesting setup, there is a small store/servo/pub, and then within say a 10km radius there are 5 campgrounds - all with some facilities and one with heated showers. There is an onsite ranger to maintain the facilities and collect the camp fees (about $6 per adult per night). Activities include walking tracks, caving, fishing, swimming and laying about doing nothing!

It is mostly sealed roads with some sections of gravel, easy even for 2WD.

Here is a link to a general website about Wee Jasper www.weejasper.org/

Let me know if you want more info.

Cheers,
Jezza

We got to Wee jasper every 4 or 5 weeks and love it!!! but we are now over due to go...been 8weeks!!!!

Billy Grace has the best facilities but can get very crouded because it has the flush toilet and ot showers......

Swinging Bridge Reserve is our fave cos no one else stays there...campared to the rest anyway...there are only pit toilets but thats fine!! We go for a dip in Micalong to freshen up....

micalong Creek has showers yeah?? Also has the best black berries!!!!

these are the 3 most popular camp grounds as the other 2 are in the direction of Careys Caves - the tour Guide geoff is an absolute Laugh and a half.... - the first one is right on the edge of one of the arms of the Burrenjuck Dam....which is extremely low!! It was 85% the week b4 xmas and from then till beginning of march they let out 1% / day.....

there is no shade or protection at this and the other one.....

Ever since the owners sold the gen store - the old guy who owns it now is an absolute so and so!!! He is hardly ever open and when he is open for the 2 days a week, its only for a few hours and then shuts again so if you need supplies....Yass is the answer!!!

The road to Tumit is good I think.....If you take the good road....instead of turning lright out of the camp grounds we headed left and it took 3 hrs through the pine forest plantations!!!! Will try the other dirction another day!! Its only 70 odd km!!

Looks like your rugged up Jezza!!!Gets cold hey!!!

No trout mentioned????

The ranger out there was moving to Canberra - his "big smoke" - has he gone yet???he ad been out there for 14 yrs or so.....

Careys caves is a must for the total of $11 for an adult!!

We have done the Xmas tree tour - yet to do the other one......did you know that Careys caves has more in them than Jenolan or Wombean Caves!!! And it isnt as crowded to do a tour....there was only Nathan and my self,his ma and pa and our to girls....The tour was supposed to be for 1.5 hrs and we went for 2.5hrs!!!

Our weekend adventures were out at Yalwal as usual......not another soul in sight...heard a few squeeks over ch 10 but no replys......

Not sure how to get our photos up so if it doesnt work go to my prifile and there are a few odd photos.....

If coming from sydney take Yass Valley Way and when you get into Yass you will see an Aboriginal shop on the right whihc has a corner store opposite it....turn left here then left again - so its like a u turn - get to the roundabout and go right - just follow this - ots been tarred a fair way these days so dust isnt to much a prob. its a bmw type of road ..... its 56km from memory.....about $6 a night...for 4 nights its cost 2 adults $51.....our 2 girls are 2 and 8mths so we didnt have to pay for them......

when you get into wee jasper you will have a little resturaunt on the right which has been for sale for yonks and never seen it open.....keep going and te school is on the right.....get to the intersection and turn right.....keep following this ( to go to the caves go left) and at the next intersection turn left again.....Billy Grace is straight away on the right , swinging bridge is another 5km and micalong is another 3 km on after s'bridge....

just be carefull of the sheep.....you are driving through wee jasper station and there are cattle grids everywhere.......and the roos......boody nusence!!

did i mis anything.....????

Laura B

Rob

Is it any wonder you come home with a repair list longer than my driving offences list.
NICE TRACKS AND PHOTO'S, just reaffirms your photographer status on our runs.

Cheers Trevor.

The photos still don't really show just how rough it was. We only came across the worst of the tracks after dark, and by then we were all more concerned with getting out, not taking photos. When we went back on Monday to try and retrieve our vehicles, there was too much work to be done without worrying about the cameras.

The photo's show enough hard core terrain for me to understand why you got so much damage.
On another front, do you want me to drop the rear step off Sat AM before I go to Ormeau Gathering?

Regards Trevor.
