Anyone tripping around on the
Savannah Way , take a quick trip in to
Lorella Springs. We ducked in there for 3days & stayed 10.
We were very warmly greeted upon our arrival, by the new managers,Rob & Darlene. Told to set up where you please, there are flushing toots & showers.
Many a relaxing 'happy hour or 2" was spent in the natural spring near
camp after spending the day exploring or fishing.
We took an interesting 4 1/2 hr - 70 k drive to the fishing
camp & had a ball spinning 1mtr long Queenies off the bank.
Interested???? Look up www.lorellasprings.com.au
The last frontier with a hint of comfort.

Barraman, other than the day you went to the fishing
camp, where did you fish? In the fresh water section of the river?
We were up that way just a couple of weeks ago. We spent 6 weeks at King Ash Bay (had planned on staying one or two weeks).
Lorella Springs was on my 'to visit' list, but we did not get there.
The track to the Fishing
Camp sounded a bit rough for the Hilux with boat on top and towing the CT. I figured the fishing was probably better where we were and with ready access to the salt water.
We'll get to Lorella one day though.

Norm C , at the fishing
camp it was actually still freshwater but as the season progresses it does go to a more salt water tidal situation, as it is only 13 k from the mouth.
You would get through with your rig if you had another vehicle with you.
We followed 2 Bravos back , with boats on & they were fine. Needed a winching up one sand
hill that hadn't been cleaned up yet.
Rob ( manager ) will take you down there on organised fishing / tag along ( there is a charge)
As far as fishing from the main
camp- Lorella. there is 5 good size billabongs the first within about 5 k , & the last about 17k. There is also the Freshwater slide ,waterfall, & a cool safe
swimming hole, apart from the hot springs just 50 mts from your
camp.
